Routine oiling
Reservoir:
The steel under-barrel pressure chamber is treated with an extreamly tough corrosion reistant finish which will last for many years with the minimum of maintenance. Should damage occur i.e. denting, rusting, exposure to extremes of either heat or cold or any other blemish, it is advisable to return the gun for an inspection and pressure test. Every 10 years the rifle should be returned to the factory or their approved agents, to be inspected and the air reservoir pressure tested to confirm its safety.
About hand pumps:
This type of charger offers an inexpensive and convenient method of charging your rifle. They do not contain the sophisticated water extraction and dirt removal filters found in breathing quality air compressors. If you regularly use this type of charger, care should be taken to avoid condensation build-up from inside the pump being transferred to the rifle. The pump should not be used in sandy or dusty conditions. Always refer to the pump manufacturers operating instructions.
Walnut stock:
Walnut stocks have an oiled finish; the stock can be periodically wiped over with suitable stock oil. If it becomes damaged it is not necessary to strip the entire stock. Simply sand or wire wool the damaged area and reseal with an appropriate oil such as a proprietary stock oil or boiled Linseed oil.
Synthetic stock:
Synthetic stocks have a tough two pack painted finish over a glass reinforced stock. Damage to the finish can be repaired using a satin finish paint or a permanent marker pen.
Action:
Daystate recommend that a synthetic based oil is applied to a cloth be used to wipe over the entire outside of the gun, making sure that the entire area is covered with an even amount to protect the metal parts.
Lubrication:
The bolt shaft should be lubricated with a small amount of light grease. Do not allow any grease to get onto the pellet channel where it could enter the barrel. DO NOT OIL OR GREASE any of the internal parts such as the striker or hammer, the inlet valve system or the snap-on connector (filler valve). Doing this could cause problems with consistency & unit sealing.
