Got the Otis .177-22 Rim-Fire Cleaning Kit, it would not go through Gamo Whisper barrel, it would zip right through Crosman 1000. any ideas.

Try a short piece of drinking straw at the muzzle end when inserting, to get past the internal baffles.

Had same problem with my gammo whisper. Because either brass end of the Otis will hang on the baffles inside the muzzle shroud you must slowly turn the flex line at the breech. The spiral motion will prevent the line from hanging. Sounds like a pain but really is not since air gun cleanings are few and far between.

Didnt have it when I did have to sight in my Gamo Whisper, but I did use it to zero my Marlin XL7 in 30-06. It handled the kick from that mule just fine, air rifle should be no issue. As you may already know, break action air rifles actually push forward when they recoil due to the momentum of the piston slamming forward, which will just lock it onto the rest even tighter. My one recommendation is to fill the stand (it has openings for this) with heavy sand or lead shot to add mass and keep it in place better. Mine weighs about 15lbs now, filled with a fine lead shot from sandbag weights.

my two 10/22 have this, and they are quiet. now at 500 rds or so, add sub sonic ammo and a oil filter and you'll get a really quiet rifle.;)

Call the manufacturer of the rifle. My Gamo says no. It says to use their oil. Silicone based I believe. Or something like that?I would contact the creator of the rifle to be sure. I used the oil to bring the outside of an old pellet gun back to life. Worked wellbut I didn't put it in the barrel. Troy

Kevin: Better check with Amazon. If you're able to provide specific dates of use and detailed results, no product damage along with original packing material they MIGHT allow a return. They're usually pretty good about that, but it's been 6 months... 1-foot distance is closer than recommended; Error-1 means the projectile is not being "seen" by the first sensor: the trajectory might have been too high, or too low. Use a tape measure (vertically from the sensors) ensuring the distances are exactly correct, (4-inches) and that the diffusers (sun) are properly installed, or not (clouds.) You might even try borrowing someone's pellet rifle: it's cheaper, slower, has little muzzle blast, and can be "dialed-in" more carefully from only 3-feet... Sorry to hear of yours.... Mine worked perfectly! ... Good luck!

Your gonna have to use pipe pliers to get it off. Be sure to clean the gun thoroughly before using it. For whatever reason these monkeys put some sort of glue on the threads of everything and it sucks. Use lacquer thinner it's the only thing that worked for me I soaked the gun and ask the parts in it for a few hours and scribes the crap out of it. Works pretty good once cleaned properly

I run a couple swabs of M-Pro 7 gun cleaner down the barrel first. Next I run the copper remover down the barrel as instructed. It works wonders.

I have four gamo air rifles and I have had to shim all four. I double a peace of electric tape about five times about the with of the scope ring and put it in the ring under the scope of the back ring. works just great. the tape should be about the thickness of a dime. and when shooting it keep tighten the screws to press the tape together and soon you will get it. the reason they have to be shimmied is the barrel slants down a little from the stock on the brake barrel air rifle on about all of them.HOPE THIS HELPS

I have the same rifle. I bought this, it worked http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_B272_4_Pc_Intermount_3_8_Dovetail/191

You should clean the rifle after 200 shots because the pellets do not leave residue in barrel that much...look on you tube for cleaning pointers. ....

That's a common concern with RWS rifles. It's from a lack of lube on the seal in the compression chamber. Purchase some RWS chamber lube. It's available from Amazon. Expensive, but absolutely necessary. Only takes a few drops. Google it, there's some videos available online that show minor maintenance of these rifles.

I used Gamo Hunter pellets (cal-0.177). These are the leaded ones. Others may be ok also.

I have had great luck with a foaming lubricant/cleaner (CLP Break Free). I spray it down the barrel and let it form up and sit, then pull it through with the snake. The residue that stays behind acts as a protectant/lubricant. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. As well you should know that Otis has a web sit that has plenty of videos that show how to use it to clean pistols and rifles as well as the action! It is some great stuff!

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.

I bought this one for my dad, but I have 2 others for my Smith & Wesson and my Beretta, and neither one of these needs any lubrication to work perfectly. Have you tried this loader with more than one type of ammo?I would instect the feed ramps for and burrs or imperfections, short of that or the ammo being the problem, I would send it back and get a replacement item. All mine work great and my dad says his works great, you may just have a bad one.Sorry, I hope this helps.Taylor

The information provided with the kit says "Yes" and mentions using the .25 brush. I am not familiar with your caliber but assume you do not have a limited sized breach, which was my problem with the .22 brush that came with the kit.
