Maintenance and lubrication?

[BucShot]

Sorry guys I am new to this and there are so many posts about this subject for me to search through. What parts do I put oil on and what parts do I need to avoid. Should I be cleaning my gun after every game once a month or what? Or is there other forms of maintenance I should know about...Thanks

Just type in maintenance or cleaning into the search button. The search function here is good compared to some other forums. Marker oil can be used on all moving internal parts. Bolt, valves, Orings. If it moves, oil it. Just a few drops. Don't need to soak it. You can use white lithium or I use Tech T gun salve on the internals of the cyclone. I clean my marker after every game. It sometimes depends on how much I shoot during that game also or how many breaks that I get. You do not want the inside of the marker to get gummed up. I have not had any breaks since install the Tech T squishy paddles. I just like to have everything working. I don't like tinkering with the marker when I get to field to play. Before you play, you can add 3-4 drops of oil to the ASA before you attach the air source. This will usually distribute the oil to where it needs to be. That is about it. Unless you have a flatline that needs to be cleaned. That is another issue. That you can also use the search function to find. Remember that the search key is your friend.

I personally do a full strip after every game, but I'm a neat freak. I usually just wash off everything and scrub, then reassemble while putting oil on hammer and where the front bolt touches the power tube. From my experience, this is all you need, but you should use the search function and read the manual. You will find more and better information in those two places.
