@nobull60 For spring pellet rifles that cannot be decocked, we recommend that you use at lease 2 felt cleaning pellets to remove excess oil. Push them through with a cleaning rod or fire them into a safe direction with a safe backstop. We recommend that you never dry fire a spring rifle. This can cause serious damage to the spring, piston, and/or seals.

This may be a stupid question but, are you saying that these rifles can't uncocked? If this is so, do you shoot a pellet through thus removing the oil or DRY fire a good quality air rifle?
-
are there any videos on how to clean a RWS 460 mag? this only explains break, not under lever.
-
would this be the same procedure for nitro pistons also?
-
@ATERIFA yea, i think they forgot to mention that you CAN'T dry-fire your break-barrel spring gun or you will DAMAGE IT. Make sure you put a pellet in there and fire it into a safe place if you cock your gun to clean it.

Not true...BEEMAN says the cleaning pellets are designed to be shot out of the barrel..that's why you use TWO pellets together in order to maintain resistance.
BEEMAN also suggests using dry MOLY powder on the mainspring, or MOLY grease..NEVER oil. Only oil the piston deal, and the breech seal. Don't use oil in the barrel except when storing the gun.. oil is the gunk that you are cleaning out in the first place!

i thought u are not supposed to dry fire a spring gun?

should i use gamo air gun oil or hoppes lubricating oil for my crosman phantom spring break barrel's barrel?
where can you get an "oil rag"? is it just a normal rag? and what oil do I use for it?

@Chopslord We recommend RWS chamber oil. (Umarex USA website, search for "oil" on the lefthand side, first result that says "RWS Airgun accessories") The oil rag they are using is a patch designed specifically for airguns. That would likely be the preferred type to use. (I have seen people use all kinds of different rags though)

Hey, i have a bottle of gamo oil, it says general purpose, but I saw there are lots of different oils for each part of the riffle, so I was wondering, where should i apply this Gamo Oil: Spring, Chamber or Barrel???

DO NOT recommend for air chamber. Barrel ok and probably mainspring. We usually tell customers not to use it only RWS to ensure it does not cause damage to the seals.
