Check threw the manual, Bolt out pullthrew a couple of times, Planet oil in the rammer mechanism threw the top a couple of drops, thats more or less it,

now this little guide by me aint top notch cause ive only cleaned an ego twice myself but ...

uve done the bolt.. SUPER :)
remove the rammer cap from the back of the gat and slide the rammer out, clean, lube and replace. if u find it hard to get the bugger out then it simply needs a shove. i used an allen key to get mine out.
lpr thingy on the front of the gat under the barrel. simple to dismantle. take off the barrel and unscrew the lpr thingy. remove the 2 springs and other bits inside and then unscrew the grub in the front of it all. MAKE SURE U KNOW WHICH WAY IT ALL GOES BACK IN. clean it all, lube it up and replace back in the right order ensuring the grub screw when replaced is sitting flush with the end of the lpr cover thingy.
remove the eye covers, clean them and clean the eyes and detents. replace.
u could remove the grips and clean any crap out of there. i personally remove the feedneck and clean any gunk from around that also.

im sure other people will flame me down but thats all ive done to mine and works fine. i wouldnt mess with the reg unless u know wat ur doin. personally would send that off to eclipse or get a proper airsmith to do it. i think the reg only needs sorting when ur gettin big flucuations in fps over the chrono.
be sure to check all the o-rings for damage and replace where needed.

dunno... cheers for reading. any other bits ive missed guyz?

and what pray tell use will that make?

the orings arent visible from the bolt slot so dropping oil on there will do prcisely f'ck all.

i woulnt use a pull thru squeegie in the breach either as that will damage the detents.
