How do you clean a Winchester Model 290 22 caliber rifle?

(1st) make sure gun is unloaded.(2nd) The Drift pin is just above trigger, push it out and trigger group can then be taken out.(3rd) Turn the rifle upside down and because you have to put it back in, make sure you know which end is where and compress the bolt spring, hold onto it tight and just push in on it and remove.(4th) Remove the bolt and have at it. This is a good time to look at the chamber mouth. If the rifle has been dry fired a lot, with the firing pin being made from harder steel then the barrel, you might have peened a nick in the opening. If so, you want to have a gunsmith "iron" it out. You can dry fire any center fire rifle or handgun and it wont hurt anything. Dry firing a rimfire without a spent case or plastic bullet is a no-no. Don't use WD-40 it turns into cement when mixed with gun crud. When your done cleaning the bore use a small amount of light oil on a patch and run it through the barrel. But before you put it back together use a Q-tip dipped in alcohol and clean any/all, lube out of the chamber, not the barrel just the chamber, you want it dry as a bone.


What will happen to a pellet gun if you dryfire it?

Most spring Pellet guns should not be dry-fired. When you shoot a spring powered air gun or rifle, the spring compresses the air in the airtube and the compressed air forces the pellet out of the barrel. The compressed air also slows down the spring piston due to the air being compressed. In this way the piston doesn't slam against the end of the chamber. When you dry-fire the rifle without a pellet in the breech the piston has no resistance in the chamber and slams against the end of the airtube. Eventually it will ruin the air tube and the rifle or gun. If you dry-fire a C02 gun nothing will happen no damage will occur.


Is it bad to dry fire an air pistol?

It's OKAY to dry fire a C02 pistol but do not dry fire a spring or pump pistol or rifle. When the piston in a spring pistol compresses the air inside the chamber to fire the pellet is actually slows down as it decompresses the spring piston just before it fires the pellet out of the chamber. This slowing down Keeps the piston from slamming against the end of the chamber and ruining it. When there is no pellet in the chamber the piston has no resistance and slams against the end of the chamber. This will eventually destroy the piston and the air chamber.
