This goes for most of the replica BB/ pellet firers. They all need a proper lube and polish as a bare minimum. You always need 1 boffin/Toymaker in your clan if you want to shoot rep's!
I wish I was confident enough to strip down and repair my guns, but I'm mature in age - my eyes aren't so good and the hands a little shaky to be messing with tiny springs, screws, ball bearings etc;
The older I get, the more I know, the less makes sense!
