Ok, I've had time to think things over. All the things revolving around the airsoft sniper and the wepons surrounding them. I've decided to make a contribution to this forum on a topic that really hasn't been majorly disscused.
Clones-that is a very controversial word in the sniping world. The more experienced players hate them, while newbies or beginners love them. The cost is cheap they give a good fps but break easily and quickly. Then they come on the forums and say "oh no my gun is broken" and want help on how to fix it. Being the nice people we are, we help them out but tell them over and over you should get a more expensive and durable gun. Most young kids don't have that much money and feel bad that someone said that their gun is horrible. So I've decided to write up a cleaning guide and maintenance guide for mainly beginners on how to care for their bolt action spring rifle.

To care for your rifle correctly you will need a rifle cleaning kit-walmart, 100% silicon lubricant spray, silicon grease and some rags

---Barrel---

The barrel is the most important aspect to your rifle. Without it your shots will be all over the place.

1. Slowly take apart your rifle. Try to find a guide on how to do it if you don't want to screw up your gun.

2. Get to the inner barrel. Take apart the hop-up so all you have is the barrel itself. Take some silicon spray and give a 3 second burst down the barrel. It should drip a little out of the end. Take the barrel rod out of the gun kid and wrap a paper towel to the end of it and push it through the barrel and out the other end. This will clean your inner barrel. Put you rifle back together and fire a full magazine so it is shooting normal again. You can clean it without disassembling your hop-up but make sure it is completlt turned OFF.

---Cylinder/Blot---

The cylinder is the part that you pull back and use to cock your rifle. It is held together with a bolt handle and end piece making it moveable.

To maintenance the cylinder you must put grease on it so it doesn't get scratched up from cycling or using the bolt.

1. Take apart your rifle once again but, this time don't take apart your outer and inner barrel/hop-up. Instead go for the bolt. Usually there is a trigger mech that requires taking off.

2. Take off the trigger mech however it says in your disassembly guide.

3. The blot and cylinder should slide out easily. Pull on it and you should feel no resistance. Take it all the way out.

4. Wipe any grease from the factory off with a rag.

5. Then take your silicon grease and place a little on your finger. Spread the grease all over the cylinder. you should cover the whole thing. Remember: "A little lubrication goes a long way."

(5.b.) If your rifle has a removable cylinder head it is a good idea to remove it and spray some silicon into it. A couple second bursts should do it.

6. Slide the cylinder back into the reciver and move it in and out a few times to naturally spread the grease even more over the cylinder.

7. Place it all the way in. Make sure it is all the way in and reinstall the trigger mech onto the reciver and reassemble your gun.

This process should be done every 1500 shots. Always use the correct ammo weight. View "Ammo Please" by Von Luck for help on what weight you should use.
The life of your ifle will be extended if you care for it carefully.

I Hope this helps. Anybody add anything I missed.
