Break Barrel Cleaning & Lubrication GuideUpdated 2 months ago
This guide applies to all break barrel rifles, including Sniper models, TPR models, and the 1200G.
⚠️ 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.
- Lightly lubricate exposed steel parts (barrel, compression tube, cocking linkage) with a firearm protectant such as Ballistol, RemOil, or CLP.
- Avoid plastic surfaces.
- Always wipe away excess oil.
Barrel Cleaning
Most of our break barrels have a non-removable silencer, so we recommend using felt cleaning pellets.
- Cock the gun.
- Load one felt cleaning pellet (in the correct caliber).
- Load a lead pellet behind it.
- Fire the combination.
- Repeat a few times until clean.

Lubrication
- Apply one drop of Ballistol, RemOil, or CLP to each cocking linkage pivot point every 500–1000 shots.
- Wipe up excess oil, or spread it across the linkage to protect metal surfaces.
- While lubricating, check that stock screws and optic screws are tight.
Piston Lubrication (Important)
- The piston is factory-lubricated for the lifespan of the gun.
- Never apply oil down the transfer port.
- If the gun makes a “honking” noise:
- Under warranty: The rifle will need replacement.
- Out of warranty: You may attempt the following at your own risk:
Honk Fix Procedure
- Confirm the gun is unloaded.
- Remove the stock.
- Secure the rifle with the barrel pointing downward.
- Apply 2–3 drops of oil (motor oil is acceptable) to the piston body where the cocking linkage attaches.
- Let the gun rest in this position overnight.
- Reassemble and fire several test shots (never dry fire).
