Hi

I own National Barllel break spring action air rifle and air pistol. (0.2 calibre each)
The gun dealer I had purchased from insists that there is no cleaning and lubing equipment required for these guns.

However going through the forum's I believe that usual cleaning equipment and greasing will have to be done.

I have gone through the you tube videos for the same.

My problem statement
I am not sure what I should go into a shop and buy? What is the list of things i need to buy for instance I do not know the stick used to clean a gun barrel or the special oil / grease and so on and so fore..

I would appriciate if someone could give me a list of things I should purchase for cleaning and oiling my guns along with location of a dealer from whom I can buy these.

I also heard from someone the oil used in sewing machines can be used on spring action air guns is this correct ?

Thanks
Regards
Gaurav

I am still not sure of all the names and products I should buy... I mean which company products. FOr example I am not sure the company which will make rods to clean the barel of the gun or which company oil is best and so on....

Well Gaurav, you really don't need to buy other than few thousand good pellets, target paper, pellet trap and or may be FT and then shoot shoot and shoot safely till you get tired :D and once you feel your gun is not listening to you tear her apart, give a good lube tune (one of the thread you referred ) and start shooting again :)
