1) What maintenance does my PCP airgun need?

To ensure your PCP airgun lasts as long as possible, it is important to regularly clean and lubricate the inner components. This can include cleaning out the barrel with a cleaning pellet, inspecting parts for wear, making sure there are no obstructions in the action and applying a light coat of oil to the outside of the barrel to prevent rust or corrosion. It is also important to store your airgun in a cool, dry place away from any moisture/humidity.

2) How often should I replace seals and other parts on my PCP airgun?

The frequency of replacement will depend on a few factors such as how often you use the gun, what type of environment you store it in, and the quality of parts used. That said, seals and O-rings should be checked regularly for wear and replaced when necessary. You should also inspect all moving parts like screws, bushings and pistons to ensure they are operating properly.
