What is needed for maintaining this air rifle?

Maybe a little bit of oil on the cocking mechanism, and a good microfiber cloth to beep the scope clean. I have had mine for nearly a year, use it fairly regularly and have had 0 issues with it since purchase.

That requires a long and involved answer. There are some good videos on the internet you might want to look at. Important items: The rifle needs to be very secure and steady. I locked mine in a "gun vise.". I also found that I needed to fire about 100 pellets through the rifle before it settled down enough to get a consistent pattern. I also discovered (1) the scope rings that came with the scope were junk. I purchased a good set and it made a big difference. (2) I had to shim the scope to get the height correct - I simple ran out of adjustment. As I recall I had to shim it on the lower part of the rear ring. It can take some time to get the scope adjusted (quite a few pellets and targets) but you can get it right on. You'll be very happy with the way is shoots once you get it done.

With this air rifle being designed to only use pellets in the rifled barrel , I would say use pellets only - Rather than take a chance of messing up a nice rifle, and use a .22 caliber pellet rifle cleaning kit to clean the lead build up out of barrel every 200 rounds so it stays accurate .

I think that rifle is destroyed, and you should send it to me. I'll make sure it is taken care of, or perhaps I'll send it to Sara Brady. Seriously, don't use anything to clean the bore, except soft cleaning pellets. Don't shoot the pellet through, but use a 17 cal. rod to push them from the loading port (breech) to he end of the muzzle. Basically, push them in the same direction that a pellet would be fired. They really don't require cleaning because you are not burning smokeless gun-powder. Just shoot the gun, and see if it's okay. If not, you're out about 100 bucks.

You will need a threaded barrel .have yours threaded or replace barrel with on that is

You need steel rings AND a steel scope rail. You dont want any aluminum. It starts to shear with high recoil loads. I ruined an aluminum base in 10 shots on my .500 handi rifle, which is similar in recoil to a hot 12 gauge slug.

Works well just weight it down with some sand in tube bags. All gun rests need to be stabilized when sighting in any gun. Also make sure it is on a solid table or other kind of surface.

As previously answered.. A very loose hold at the balance point of the rifle. There are videos demonstrating it if you search for it.

My air rifles came with an air fitting for the rifle and I adapted then to the air system I use to pressurize them. I have a Sam Yang, and a Hammerli. As I said both new rifles came with an adapter that you may adapt to your pressurizing systems. Hatsan- as new, should include a fitting also.

I have a Daisy pump air rifle. I just test fitted the clamp on the barrel and I works perfectly. Holds tight and very stable.

Mine came with the hose and dry-pac. Depending on what air gun you have, you may need to get an adaptor. PyramidAir is a good source of information. Be aware that the hose is only about a foot long, you might want to think about getting an extension.

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 would check PyramidAir. They have a section that shows what connections are needed for different pumps and rifles. Hope this helps.

I haven't had a single issue with this rifle, and ive had it for about 7 months now. Fired over 10,000 rounds easy. That burst function eats bb's. I've always used clean ammunition fresh out of the container, never any reused rounds. It may just be jammed. Have you tried cleaning it at all? Or even using some air rifle oil?

Yes it will. Excellent walk you thru it on Utube. Just take your time, and you'll have a new air rifle.

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.

Crosman Pellgunoil Air Gun Lubricating Oil specifically mentions it helps prevent rust and drying of seals. A small amount of PAGLO and a piece of soft cloth secured to a barrel cleaning rod should provide you satisfaction cleaning and lubricating the air-rifle barrel
