    Air Pistol Maintenance

    Hi all i recently brought a Beretta 92fs Pistol

    I know that i have to use some pellgunoil every few co2 cartridges

    But what about oiling the gun

    Do i need to oil the ouitside of the gun and moving parts?

    What can i use to clean it are there any oil type wipes?

    Regards
    karl

    I agree with neil, but i only clean my barrel when my grouping is affected.

    No, pellgunoil isn't a good idea, and it's too bl**dy expensive.

    I find Napier Power oil is great, it's in a spray can so it's easy to use and seems too last for ever, a quick spray on a rag and away you go.

    Can you put it all over the outside of the gun?

    Is it best to take the grips off?

    thanks all
