⚠️ Important: Always ensure your rifle is unloaded and degassed before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

Cleaning

  • Wipe all exterior surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth.

  • Barrel cleaning does not need to be performed often. For best results:
    • Clean the barrel once when you first get the gun.
    • Never reuse ammo.
    • Do not add lubricants to BBs or your speed loader.
    • Clean only if you notice accuracy issues

Lubrication

  • Apply a small amount of firearm lubricant to the magazine release mechanism. Wipe away excess.
  • The gearbox is factory-greased and will stay lubricated until it requires a rebuild.
    • Rebuilds can be done by an airsoft technician.
    • Replacement parts and complete gearboxes are available on our website.
  • Do not lubricate inside the inner barrel or the bucking.
  • You may lightly lubricate the exterior of the inner barrel with firearm lubricant. Always wipe away extra.

Battery Care

  • Never overcharge or over-discharge your battery.
  • Do not store your battery fully charged or deeply discharged.
  • If the battery becomes puffy or swollen, discontinue use and dispose of it safely.
  • Always charge with a balance charger.
  • Use a voltage alarm for easier battery management.
  • Be mindful of the risks of LiPo batteries and handle with care.
  • Never store your gun with the battery inside.
  • Disconnect any voltage alarms from the battery during storage.
