I got an embark a couple weeks ago. Mostly to get wee man shooting something other than a BB gun that is hard to cock, and has poor accuracy.
Out of the box it was shooting good. We put a few hundred cpl through it and the accuracy was solid.
I tore it down today(sorry no pics) and cleaned and lubed with ultumox 226. No polishing, just getting factory gunk out.
The internals are pretty rough as one would expect. The trigger is slightly more sophisticated than a crosman 1377.
I did a through JB paste on the barrel, cleaned up with kroil. And after degreasing everything I applied ultumox 226 to all of the moving parts.
The first few shots show some immediate improvement. We're going to shoot this weekend and see if this is righten up.
All said for a cheap rifle it is a shooter and disassembly can be done by hand, there is only a couple ounces of preload on mine. It was stripped to all the little bits with a Phillips and a flathead, and a bamboo skewer for the pins.
Only gotcha is that you need to remove the barrel pivot screw, the cocking lever is buttoned in, so keep that in mind.

I put a rws trooper mount and a Chinese scope that came with a 34 on it. On a bag it can hammer nails, little nails at 10 yds. The trigger is truely bad. I plan to make a block to stop it after releasing
