Gun Maintanance Adivce

HI,
Just wondering when and how often you should clean/take apart your gun to clean and check etc.

Cheers

After every game is a safe bet.
Or well that's what I do.

Cheers, but can you do it too much? or is it always good to do it?

I depends what marker you're running generally.

I tend to do a light service - clean, take apart bolt system and relube - after every training session and then maybe do the same with hpr / lpr every other month or just a time when I had time.

In my experience with eclipse and dye markers, the more 'complicated' components are ok to be left for a few months unless something goes wrong, apart from a service or even just a look to check over everything is in order.

- As for doing too much: If you're inexperienced or not exactly sure what's going on, a service can easily act in creating more problems. As long as you know everything is in general order "If it ain't broken, don't fix it".

I'd say it's always a good thing to do, It all depends on the marker I suppose, If you've got something like an Etek you can throw that in your kit bag and forget about it for a good 6 months.

Well ive just down graded from an ego to a Creed so I usually do it after every training session, just wondered if I should do It if I haven't used it in a while

 

[StewartW]

I'd say go with Niall W's approach then.

 

[TomE94]

Okay thanks guys

If you've air; an air up and a few dry fires (or paint / reballs if you have them and a safe area) post service is always good to put your mind at rest.
