when i say clean, i mean taking the whole thing apart and cleaning the bolt and valves and all that good stuff.

people keep telling me there's all kinds of co2 residue (sp?) that must be cleaned out

IM NOT TALKING ABOUT WIPING HITS OF THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR GUN!

after every day of play like he said. theres no co2 residue, but by cleaning it you remove any dirty oil, paint, and dirt which will cause further wear. wipe it all out, add oil, and your done.

Same deal, or if it's been sitting in storage for a long time, before I play.

whenever you have time (during a tourney or something) or after a days of play, pretty much whenever it gets dirty.
if it moves it becomes a target.
