I saw about the Gamo rifle recall and went to the safe to check mine. Mine was made in 05 and i got it early 06 and not the recall list. I had mounted the scope on it but had not sighted it in, so its been sitting in the safe for a while.
Thought i would bore sight it. but the bore sight was not long enough with the plastic grip on the front of the barrel. Well when i pulled the bore sighter out it had rust residure on it.
Well i then checked the barrel full of Rust!!!!!!!!!!
Spent the next hour cleaning the barrel , but the receiver hole (where the air comes into the barrel)still is not that clean, not sure ohow to clean it real good with taking the whole gun apart.
I had not put any gun oil it when i put it away The manuel says use no lubercating oils in the barrel. Not sure if gun oil is considered lubercating oil.
But after closing the barrel and dry firing iti sprayed Rust sheath down the barrel.
Has anyone had this problem and how do you keep it from rusting.
