Barrel cleaning.
With mine plinking, when the accuracy seems hit and miss I pull through.
The reason is, inside the loading port mostly on a new gun they need cleaning occasionally, actually rusty in there. Sometimes lifting the under lever up after loading it sounds all of a sudden nasty and gritty. Paper hanky or yellow duster clean the loading port all out. Don't chop a finger off. I've had so many V-Mach kits, Ray uses his own V-Mach greese so the little pot supplied in the kit is unused. This greese is like no other, it's so smooth and slippery.
Being very sparing, finger tip the lube on your bottom slidy bit of the port. TX or 77/97 just as bad. From new over the first few weeks you might need to do this, several times. Your barrel with all that compressed oily smoke or oily pellet fingers residue is going to make your barrel oily. Spoiling your accuracy. It's no good pulling through dry, the cloth probably even won't look too dirty, you'll think my barrels fine, pull through with an oily wad and you are making it worse, even though the cotton pull through might look dark and oily.
WD40 squirt on the cotton strip then pull through and the cotton strip is horrible, like after a Curry. Even rusty, residue and oil either evaporates or cleaned out.
then dry pull through no oil. The greese in my port bottom and the mechanism itself makes my barrel dirty. Certainly after you've pulled through it will shoot more lovely and accurately. Never use a paper hanky pull through wad it will tear through and fall off in your barrel or an over tight cotton wad, the the fishing lune will break. The guns cocked you can't let the spring pressure off, dont fire a pellet hoping to push it all through. You are properly fecked, shoot yourself, end your misery. Don't ask me how to make a pull through I dont have the brain power to explain.
Thin tube fishing line you work it out.
Of course if are a terrible shot like some old people you wouldn't notice a dirty barrel. Manthing or the Pilot.
