Getting in to air rifles...

[Fat Tone]

Thanks for the info guys.

I have the B2 rifles at the top of the link I posted.

At the moment I am wondering just how much performance variation is down to the guns themselves rather than anything else. I guess I'll make a better judgement on that when I have identical scopes attached.

Is there no part of the firing mechanism I should oil?

Lubrication locations and lubricant type depends on the gun. Pump guns sometimes require an occasional drop in the pump, but not always as the seal material differs. Some are synthetic O-rings, others rubber and others felt gaskets. Check the manual, or if you can't find it for an older weapon check online etc.

Even real firearms vary greatly in this; my SIG Sauer P250 pistol hardly requires any lubrication except on the 4 slide rail ears and disassembly pin & then very, very little and using a Teflon gun grease. All the metal in it is stainless steel, most all nitron coated. Others, more and using a regular gun oil.

Check how rigid the barrel is at the hinge point. Those are break action rifles and the scopes are mounted after the hinge. Any slop at the hinge will cause inconsisitant shots.

Thanks. None that I can detect.
