Yes, a light coating of oil is all that is required. Too much oil can cause contamination and kill your primers and powder. Too much oil attracts lint and debris evenually gumming up themoving parts of your revolver.
These rifles don't require much maintenance, Wipe it down with a mildly oiled cleaning cloth. Use Crosman pellgun oil or RWS air gun oil to oil the joints and moving parts. Don't over oil it. Put a drop or two of oil down the barrel every 500 bb's
Oil it with "Crosman Pellgun oil", "RWS OIL" or "Gamo Pellet gun oil" Wipe it down. DO NOT USE Household oil or 3-N-1 oil. They will damage the gun. Put a drop in the barrel and run a swab through the barrel. If it's a C02 gun then put a drop of oil where the C02 bottle fits into the gun and charge the gun. If it's a springer type of rifle, put a drop of oil in the oil hole in top of the rifle barrel or in the loading chamber. DON'T over oil the gun.
You rub oil into it.
Instructions1 Make sure the gun is unloaded. Put any and all ammunition in a separate room from where you are cleaning the gun. Remove the magazine and pull back the slide. Put your finger into the chamber and magazine well to make sure they are empty.2 Remove the slide latch or take down tabs, and pull the slide off the front of the gun. Remove the spring carefully so that it does not jump out and get lost. Take out the barrel.3 Wipe off all parts and surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe off all oil, unburnt carbon and any carbon buildup. Wipe inside the magazine and around the chamber.4 Apply a small amount of solvent to all of the gun's parts and let them soak for a few minutes. After a few minutes, use a toothbrush to scrub the entire gun. A toothbrush with a pointed tip will help you get into and clean out all of the corners and creases. When you're done scrubbing, wipe the gun down with a soft lint-free cloth. If places on the gun are turning the cloth black, go back and scrub those areas with a little more solvent until they are clean.5 Use the wire-tipped brush to clean out the barrel. Push the brush down the barrel in the same direction as the bullet leaves the gun. Put a solvent-soaked piece of cloth on the brush and run that through the barrel until it is clean. When it is clean, put a small amount of lubricant on a piece of cloth and run that through the barrel.6 Wipe the gun until all the solvent is dry. Oil the guide rails and grooves and around the trigger and hammer. If you see wear on the gun, apply oil to the wear spots. Put the barrel back on and put a few drops of lubricant on the spring. Never over-oil your gun; if you can see oil running on it, there's too much oil and you need to wipe it off.7 Reassemble the gun and wipe with a clean dry cloth.
"The proper way to clean a gun is to make sure it is not loaded, spray it with cleaning supplies to get all the gun powder out and then put it back together."
The Marksman doesn't require much cleaning. I suggest you purchase Crosman pellgun oil and put some on a cloth and wipe down the pistol. Open the breech (Barrel) put a drop of oil on a q-tip and run it through the barrel. Do this until the Q-tip is clean. DO NOT use any firearms cleaning agents on the pistol or it will ruin the seals in the gun.
Drain all the oil out into a clean container and then put the correct amount back in. Do not overfill. Overfull is just as bad as not enough oil.
If you can, that would be great. Otherwise, drain as much as you can, put clean, cheap oil in the engine and run it for about 5 minutes then drain it and change the filter.
As a general rule, most new guns come with a small amount of lubricant from the factory. You normally don't have to clean a new gun before you fire it. Look at the slide rails. If they appear to be dry, you may want to put a little gun oil on it.
It will clean the penny. :)
the oil helps keep the parts functioning smoothly, if you too much oil in it, wipe it clean and put silicon oil on it.
while you use the gun,after using it open,the cap gun put water on it. if it did,nt go you can use cloths
