Dear Mr. Abii,

As you have IHP 35, I can say for sure it is the best one in Indian Brands.
To prevent it from rust you have to be careful about a few things like.

Put 3 – 5 drops of gun oil (which you can get easily at any armory shop) in the barrel from the front sight, (where the pellet comes out)

Break the barrel put 3 – 5 drops of oil in the hole were the piston hits the pellets.

Turn the rifle towards the side where you can see the spring of the rifle and the break barrel, put 3- 5 drops of oil there also.

Keep the rifle vertical for at least 30 minutes so that the oil reaches the parts where some lubricants are required.

Clean the rifle with a clean, dry and soft cloth.
Get a wax sponge brush (you can get it at any good shoe shop) apply that brush to all the rifle part with smooth touch.

Never keep you rifle in damn atmosphere.

For rifle precision, go to some place where there is less air deviation, put a target board, try shots from 10 meters, keep a note about the pellet hitting shapes, then increase the distance. If the shot are making round holes then its good.
If you are not a perfect shooter then take some kind of rest support.

Those numbers are nothing but the size of the pellets such as
5.5 is 0.22 and 4.5 is 0.177 caliber, I think yours may be 0.22.

recently I bought an IHP..177 Model 35 rifle.from kovi shop bangalore.for Rs 5ooo.There were 2 rust marks on body. But they had no other piece.I fitted a peep sight on it which I got from kochi. It is very good and shoots accurately. The barrel is superb.

thank u i did everything u ve mentiond......my gun is shooting a lot of smoke now.....wat happns if som oil gets inside dat small piston hole?
can u pleas xplain brief bout checking accuracy plz

[bodhijobs]

It will shoot a lot of smoke for some time because of the oil inside. this phenomenon is called dieseling. excess oil is getting burnt. it should stop after some time.

You need to first mount a scope rail 11 mm dove tail. There are 2 ways of doing it. Either you open up your gun in a workshop and drill holes to mount the rail or you use some strong adhesive like JB Weld (I dont know whether this is available locally since I have got mine imported) and stick the rail on. However advisable is to drill but JB Weld does the trick, more so because IHP hasnt got a very big recoil. Once, the rail is done with, get a scope and fix it.

You might consider using a red dot also, good for open sights, though I am not sure about the accuracy.

Red dot is ideal for fast target acquisition at shorter ranges, not for the sort of pin-point accuracy that airgunners are usually after...

Hi,

For pin point accuracy, we should go for scope or peep sight?
