Thanks! Glad it is helpful to you.
Best regards!
The stock is finished raw copy of WH100 from me. I made it for my hand. I am keeping the original stock safe :-)
Yes - there is regulator. It is custom made and is providing 30-35 consistent shots.
This videos are taking much time, but I will try one day to show my shooting system.
Till then - a lot of videos are waiting in my mac to be edited and upload here.
For new shooters, If you do insist in cleaning your barrel with WD40 I would turn it upside down to stop the oil getting down the transfer port which is at the bottom of the barrel, WD 40 getting down this will dry out the seals. Washing your tin of pellets in warm water and a few drops of washing liquid before use will help, after this dry them by your partners hair dryer or air dry them and then use a good propitiatory pellet lube. This will save you money to have someone strip the gun and change the seals after a year. Only clean your gun when the pellets group starts to expand.
WD40 is petroleum based, and so is not recommended for use on rubber O rings. Instead the advice is to use a silicone lubricant.
I am using WD 40 more than a decade. Never have a problem with o-rings. After cleaning the barrel I am adding just little silicone oil.
Well all the other o-rings are only with silicone oil.
Just the barrel is touching the WD 40, but never had a problem.
Groovy. Thumbs up as always.
great video! I know how crucial the cleaning really is... before my 2nd cleaning, I did some target shooting.. and boy the pelles wobbled like craaazy and some missed the 1 inch target by severla inches... after the cleaning.. it was shooting well within the 1 inch marker!
Nice tip about the fishing line, I now have made one from thin strimmer line, thank you.
Unlike many, I think there is no danger of wd40 on the o-rings! Most manufacturers use NBR type O-rings with excellent resistance to hydrocarbons! Second, the wd40 advertises that it is plastic and rubber compatible. Wd40 cleans very well but I have found better. The interflon lube tf or the interflon fine super. Cleans, lubricates, protects, anti-corrosion, oxidation, oil which becomes dry. I find that it cleans a little better than wd40, but above all it lubricates better!
Helped me a lot :)
Thanks for your honesty brother...appreciate it.//Chuck

Thanks, you are welcome.
Best regards.
good video dude .
Thanks for the tips!
hi,wd40 has something in it that dissagrees with seals on a pcp,i only use crosman pelloil anywhere near a seal,wd40 ok for cleaning your gun via a cloth regards IAN
thanks for your reply
very nice tactical.... great job...
Thanks
Not anymore. Before with my Blizzard S10 - I was washing the Barracudas match, but with AAS510 I am using JSB 1.175 and seems no need washing.
I would recommend using a synthetic gun oil. It's not petroleum based , it actually keeps all the parts clean, Just as synthetic oil in a car will clean out all the build up the petroleum oil creates, and it cleans as it lubricates, and being non-petroleum based it will not hurt any seals or rings, and synthetic oil will leave a coating of lubrication that will not evaporate like other oils.

4-5 years of use and no issues with WD40 only positives.
Sure there are many other working solutions, just sharing my experience.
Best regards.
Awesome job

Thanks
Thanks. Yes it is external regulator.
Hi,
I'm just watching and watchin your videos about AA S510. I own one my self. Has regulator in it. But problem is that I get just 20 - 25 consistens shots on 270m/s with JSB 1.175. Regulator is set on 120bar. What pellet speed do you get with your AA? Would be nice to hear from you. Kind Regards, Robert.
Many say fishing line can damage whatever it rubs against. The Crown Saver by Mac1 is supposed to be very safe.
FREEMAN WE NEED MORE SHOOTING VIDS!!!
this is great.specifically the wd 40. but I clean my air rifle with one litre petrol, what I do is disassemble the whole air rifle including barrel, piston chamber, trigger block, spring, piston and all rinse it in petrol to remove oil and dust.then allow petrol to evaporate then give it a engine oil bath to all the above said parts, reassemble the whole gun and keep it aside for a whole 24 hrs so that extra oil will let out then finally I use machine oil to clean the barrel with ear bud (here now I will use your method :) with WD-40). BY THE WAY I CLEAN MY AIR RIFLE THIS WAY AFTER 500 SHOTS BUT BASIC CLEANING I DO AFTER 250 SHOTS. If you agree then I will be happy if u make a video of it as I am not good instructor like you specially making a video like this :-D .
Mine is also on 120 bar.
I have about 40 consistent shots.
I am shooting with Methane and the speed now is about 300m/s with JSB 1.175 Exact Heavy's.
Regards.
Which one?
You are right.
I think that wearing gloves may be a good suggestion. WD40 contains DMSO - an excellent solvent that vets use in treating joint arthritis in dogs and horses because it penetrates skin so well - the problem here is that you have the lead and the DMSO in contact with your skin. I'm not saying that the lead is entering you but it seems like it could. Great videos!
Very nice rifle;-) i got airsoft rifles my self.
So far the O-rings are in great shape.
My o-rings are still the original. Might be depend of the o-rings.
Seals and o-rings I am lubing with silicon oil.
Regards.
thanks for the video I'm going to subscribe and like the video

Thanks
Good video bro
+Mike Low
Thanks mate
Very nice and pratice!
I liked so much of your rifle´s stock. Would you be kind enough to give me the measurements. I would love to make a same for my rifle.
Thank you for tips!
FMS, is your s510 regulated? if yes what make it is?
Great looking rifle there! Is that a tube extension for the regulator or just for added air capasity? :-)
hello. are you sure that the W-D40 is not damaging the o-rings?
The o-rings are oil resistant. No damage so far.
thx,so I'm waiting for another videos..
Regards!
Hi once more :)
Methane? Is it not dangerous??? Or you just use air and methane mix?
Great video as always Sir. Just bought a BSA R10 MK2 few weeks ago and have been running the barrel in and fired about 1000 pellets through it and suddenly realized I needed to clean the barrel out so did a google search which lead me to your great tutorial. So will give the barrel a clean when I get some WD40, or would GT85 still work as I use that on my locks?
waddac2 Hello, I newer used GT85. WD40 is working great for me. Best regards, FMS
Nice stock as well....is it a Gimb? Btw. who makes the regulator? Thanks :-)
halo, i used this technique to my marauder 25. but i lose my oring barrel. do you have experience like mine?
+ivan setio
Never - o-rings are safe. Well if you lost yours buy another one, they are cents.
hi, I have just bought a black ops sniper rifle ( airgun )
I'm thinking to clean it after 30-50 pellets... its a .177
I'm thinking of the WD-40 but I'm confused. there is so many views and tips...
all I want is a cheap affordable thing that will keep my barrel clean and last as long as it can..
any tips please...
thanks in advance guys
My hard is full with videos waiting to be done and upload. The time is limited :-)
I have a question I hope someone could help me with. I watched a video demo from a manufacturer who makes a top of the line pellet rifle. They say when cleaning a pellet rifle always clean by going from the breech end of the barrel to the muzzle end of the barrel. I noticed It's the same way you clean your rifle by pulling the cleaning patches from the breech to the muzzle. Is this to protect something on the gun against possible long term damage? I like that you mentioned how long you have used WD-40, I'm sure if it was going to cause damage to your rifle it would have happened a long time ago, But Thank You for sharing your experience I really appreciate that!!
+Craig Carper
Yes, this is the appropriate way - to follow the way of the pellet. Also some barrels are choked, so the patches should got through the choke last. And finally in this way of cleaning it is more easy to pull the patch.
Best regards.
Ooo - this is when the barrel i clean and the patch is very tight and with WD40.
Do you wash your pellets?
I've do in the same way,I see this method begining very popular.
Stock of your AA is really cool/TH/,did you buy your rifle with it or ordered,maybe made it or something.. I see also some kind of regulator in it,please give me more info about your AA or maybe do some video review ;) will be nice to see this
Regards!
krys
The stock is modified WH 100 stock.
The regulator is not serial production, it is made from one shooter.
What is that sound through barrel?
Like + Favorite " thumbs up "
Why wouldn't you just follow the operations manual and remove the shroud so that you can pull the patch thru un-encumbered by the baffle system??
Why not use copper pellets?
I really don't see how you can harm the barrel by not using a straw. How is nylon fishing line going to harm the barrel?
I see. It isn't not very common in Brazil, and I'm trying to do one myself, that without exact measurements is more dificult. Regards
So far is very good for my gun and me.
I know what people are talking around.
Would you share if your observation are first hand - what exactly is not good.
Thanks mate.
I am writing about the adjustment of the regulator.
So far after 1 year of use - no damage.
How do you like your scope . Have you had any trouble with it . How you tried other scopes you like better . If you could buy any scope what would you get that has the same or close to the same power as the one you have on this gun .
Leapers 8-32x56 SWAT is the best quality for the price.
I have changed many scopes but still have the Leapers.
If you can spend more money Nikko Stirling Diamond 10-50x60 is also good but rare to find.
I read a good reviews for Sightron too.
PS Check my review of Hawke compared with Leapers ... ruclips.net/video/ld9co1AJBcA/видео.html
ok thanks I saw there last year's field target winner used a Sightron .
Also to keep your barrel clean simply clean your pellets very carefully to not damage them and lube your pellets with Napier power pellet lube remember to be very delicate so you don't deform any pellets
If the pellets touch the inside of your barrel, its damanging it, right ;D
I'm sure the pellet travels through the inside of your barrel, lol. sorry, only joking but it had to be said.
It is not damaging the seals - no problem, proved.
Great gun "stripper" music
WD-40 is mostly mineral spirits and will damage most o-rings. Silicone is a standard for use with o-rings.
No problem, but the gun is not here next days.
The stock is replica of Weihrauch HW 100 T
Regards
The methane is not dangerous, but is giving more power because is more dynamic gas.
Never mix it with air or anything else.
You do not need to clean an airgun rifle barrel. The pellets are coated with graphite to keep them from corroding. The black stuff is graphite and actually protects the barrel. As soon as you shoot another pellet it will be coated with graphite again. No manufacturer suggest barrel cleaning as far as I know. If you want to clean it as soon as you get it new to get any possible machining artifacts out then OK, but after that there is no need.
Its really for the small flakes of lead left behind from the pellet
Gamo recommends cleaning your gun after every shooting session that’s why I’m here! I had also read that it doesn’t needs to be cleaned but every so often. I have a 10+ year old daisy i keep in my garage andnever cleaned and it still shoots straight.
What country are you in?
what is that scope? thanks
It was LEAPERS UTG 8-32X56 30MM.
Now let's see you do an underlever springer...
i thought WD 40 is not good for barrel
For me is the best so far.
WD 40 is a not recommended for bbl for a lot of reasons. Not because it is mineral based, it is organic based. Made from fish oil.
happy shooting

4-5 years of use and no issues with WD40 only positives.
Sure there are many other working solutions, just sharing my experience.
Best regards.
its not dirt its graphite used on the pellets to keep form oxidising
+shaun blish
Yes, plus lead.
Because I don't want to dismount shroud every time. For cleaning like this is ok with straw.
Oiling break barrel air rifle cause dieseling. Springers have to compress the air first and that heats up the air, causing it to diesel if there is oil or grease present in the compression chamber. This is very bad for your air gun system.
Not so with the PCP, but still reflect the accuracy. There will be a difference between your first shots and next ones. This will mislead you all the ballistic.
WD 40 is slightly oiling and dries sealing the inside barrel. If you are oiling - dry it afterword
Yes it is regulated,
the person is not making them anymore.
I'm a great believer in WD40 for most things, but if it's going to damage my gun, i'll give it a miss.
No damage till now on my guns after 3 years of use.
There are other solutions too.
WD40 not kind to PCP`S
WD-40 is a very big no no! I'm sorry but using wd or other oils not specified for bores/barrels it will foul your barrel its best just to use a dry patch with nothing on it as most people do not clean there barrels anyway! ONLY CLEAN YOUR BARREL IF YOU ACCURACY GETS WORSE ON PELLETS YOU KNOW WORK WELL, a lot of champion target shooters never clean there barrel. However cleaning your barrel once a year or after a really dirty tin of pellets won't hurt just use dry patches
Monofilament fishing line can also damage the rifling in the barrel.
No damage so far. It is working perfect for me and my rifles.
noo fishing line is fine, however wd 40 i would stay away from it causes more harm than good, there is no need to use any oil in your barrel
GREG GREER what...
bullshit
use silicone oil spray instead.
+nathoi I am using silicon oil, but not spray. Aerosol lubricants are dangerous for places with high pressure. WD40 is used just for insight of the barrel and outside of the metal parts of the rifle, but not for lubrication. Regards
Not so accurate, and not so un-harmful to the barrel.
Me
It's not going to damage your O-rings people, just pop it out and wipe it off if you feel that worried about it!!!!!!!! But WD is not gonna hurt a thing , I'v been doin it this way for decades.
do you use it in the piston
WD40 will degrade the rubber seals in your gun, use a silicone based lube instead like napier power airgun spray. I have actually done an experiment myself on its effect on rubber. Get a condom and spray it with WD40 and another with a silicone spray, leave them for 10 minutes and then try stretching the condoms. The one sprayed with WD40 will dissintegrate very easily and the one with silicone spray will be ok. The same will happen to your rubber o rings. Oil based lubes are no good.
WD40 has silicone in it which damadged your gun over time

+FreeManShooting oh ! Thanks for the advice
i subscribed awesome videos i have started my own videos but no editing as of yet raw footage only i live in mobile,alabama thanks for the videos,and if u get time check out some of mine.
WD40 make your seals expansion.....
If van damme made shooting videos...
wd-40??? man... thats ridiculous
Actually the best so far. Never damage 0-rings, but clean eand leave insight of the barrel smooth.
WD 40 worst for guns - builds up film and degrades seals
Actually the best so far. Never damage my 0-rings, but clean and leave insight of the barrel smooth and nice. Every one have opinion, I like the resolts from this. Winned many competitions in FT unlimited and Benchrest.
