How long does the smell last once the gun has been cleaned? My concern is the weapon giving off an odor while carrying it.

In all reality, the smell goes away after a couple hours, and my gun just smells like manly, leather holster now. I even clean it with a Balistol dampened microfiber cloth before I put it away, but the smell does not stick.

Well I haven't noticed the overbearing smell of the Ballistol while carrying. When I clean, I soak the slide and scrub until I am satisfied that is clean. Then I clean all the Ballistol off until it is dry. After that I sparingly reapply for lube. Haha so back to you question...right after cleaning, maybe. However, if cleaned well and lubed only to the point of necessity, I don't think it should be something you or anyone else would notice the smell of.

Not long. Seems to linger in the room where I was cleaning more than on the gun itself

Will not be an issue. I have even used it on the wood many times and the smell does not linger.

I cleaned my Model 29 two days ago, and I can't smell it. I don't believe it's a very strong odor in any case. I think it's less strong than Hoppe's #9. I don't carry concealed, but it doesn't look to me like it would be a problem.

Definitely not a problem. I've used this stuff for 4 years. I realized very quickly that in most cleaning situations I can use just a little of the product. I'll soak the inside of the barrel and let it sit. Everywhere else just gets a wipe down. If I do an indepth cleaning I might use a little more on the firing pin and wipe it off really good. I remove any oil reside with dry worn out cotton shirts and reapply one tiny little dot / dab of oil on one contact point and spread it to the other contact points with my finger or cue-tip. I use VERY little to accomplish this. It's not good to leave any part of your gun "oily" as that is a place for grit/grime/carbon to build up rapidly. Definitely not a problem.

Not an issue...maybe if you sniffed the gun itself up close. Otherwise you won't smell anything.

Not that long with mine because after cleaning I wipe it off and the light lubricant and wipe again.Best bet is to take something with a finished wood handle and try it and on a piece of pipe and try it as well.

I would go with the pull through cleaning system. That is the one i got and it is very easy to use and cleans my .22 and 12 gauge awesome. I would recommend this cleaning kit in the pull through. Fricken love mine. Use it every time after i go shooting.

Well you will need pellets and chamber lube and oil. and you will need some kind of cleaning rod,or cleaning pellets.myself i use otis cleaning system for all of my weapons. I hope this helps you out. GOOD sHOOTING!!But having shot this gun and others, I prefer the Hornet!!!

I use Hoppe's 9 where it calls for a drop of oil. As for cleaning I use CLP Break Free (spray can) or Ballistol. I have never used miltec so I can't really comment. It is my opinion that you clean the gun or rifle immediately after use breaking it down per manufacturers instruction with any reputable product. Take note of any unusual wear and lubricate accordingly.

I do not know specifically what they are eluding too. The gun does come with a slight coating of oil on it and had to wash my hands when I first handled it. I used a rag just clean the whole gun up. I can think of anything else.

I have only used the gun a few times, didn't have the power I wanted so I don't know how long the seals will last. Sorry I can't help.

so the piece that attach to the gun ? sound like you might have dirty in the end

Yes - clean it like a gun. The barrel needs lubrication. P.S. don't dry fire it. I accidentally did in my back yard and it sounded like a real gun fired, not to mention it's really not good on the compression seals. I love mine. Best powerful pellet gun ever - Not for minors though!!

I had the same problem... I contacted them and they replaced just the machine not the gun. They said if the gun doesn't work it's how you clean it. How did you clean your gun? I use mine for business all the time as i am a professional make up artist and so far after my husband cleaned it well it's working

It depends on what you're using it for. On some guns traditional oil will "fly" off and leak into other parts of the firearm. Something heavier, like Slip EWL-30 or grease or a semi-fluid liquid, will prevent that from happening. Overall you probably won't notice a difference if you never experienced the above and would simply waste money.I doubt it would gunk up faster. If it is gunking up it probably means you put too much on or you're not storing it properly or you don't have a very good cleaning schedule.

Virtually any gun will have a slow leak. Don't count on it for more than an hour or two. If you get no leak you're lucky. Plus mfg 's don't recommend you leave it for long periods anyway

I have left a half full cartridge in mine up to five days or so. I really think they are talking about leaving a cartridge in the gun like two or three months. The oil droplet would get old and collect dust and the seal would be compressed for that long. It all adds up to a nice tight seal for greater shot powder. They are too much fun to leave that long anyway with out use.

There is an amount of lead dust / splatter. I've put a piece of cardboard on the face / opening to reduce the splatter, along with "sealing" the joints with duct tape. But even with these actions performed, there is nothing that can be done concerning lead dust - even HV pellets or standard rimfire ammo creates some form of "lead dust" as it's leaving the muzzle. Emptying out the unit you will also encounter some form of dust, unless of course soaking it with water to prevent as much dust going air borne. Also wear gloves and dispose of lead appropriately to avoid / reduce contamination.

Dear Mr. AssCork,Just to be sure, I took the S&W; Model 10 out of the bottom drawer to check it. It's been there for nearly a year. The grease is still viscous and the action of the pistol action is still smooth.

Put some silicone spray or "armor-all" on a rag and wipe down the inside of the holster. Then wipe dry. The holster will be perfect.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

It can be removed. You will get some foam and the can may not be reusable at a later date. Make sure you understand the use of the cleaner and how to clean the gun. I have several guns to use for different foams so that I can leave the cans on until fully used for up to a three week period before cleaning.
