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. |

Once after every game to keep the gun in good shape inside and out. Gives the gun better performance for the next game. You also get rid of any bad or dirty oil in the gun. -------------

Whenever I feel it needs cleaning. That's probably about every 3000-6000 shots.
