If you've never cleaned the barrel that's the starting point. I would use something like Ballistol or Hoppe's Number Nine. Either will detonate so be sure to follow with several dry patches. You may still get some slight detonation until solvent dissipates from the pores in the metal.
As I recall Goo Gone is a brand name for several different compounds. If you're talking about the one that smells like naptha or old lighter fluid it should work great just remember about the detonation. As far as the trigger adjustments, unless the second screw mod has been performed you'll only have one adjustment as the clones have the clone of a Diana T05 trigger. It's easy enough to add the second stage mod should you choose to do so and it makes a world of difference on the trigger pull.
On Bags, front and rear pushing down on the rear bag (inconsistent pressure), and just the front bag, with my hand between bag and rifle, palm-up. Both grazing the cheek weld.Trigger pull looking good, 1# 13.8 oz, 1# 9.1 oz, 2# 0.4 oz, 1# 15.1 oz, avg 1# 13.6 oz.Some pellets fit with some resistance on insertion, some just drop into the breach. There was some fuzz stuck in the breach seal that I removed, and closing the breach can be "variable" or slightly inconsistent depending on whether or not I'm paying attention when I close it.I'm guessing Hassan is right about needing to get used to the shooting cycle, but I'll probably go ahead and run a few patches through it.
If the pivot screw is too tight lockup will be inconsistent. Watch the rear stock screw - it can tend to come loose and elevation will vary.

I'm very tempted to lapp the barrel, but I'd have to remove the stock and barrel, yes?
Argh! Still plodding my way through this --- tried CPHP's this time. All fit snug in the leade but one and it went where most others did, so I suppose that's progress, if you call what's on the target I'm posting progress.The range was a close 11 yards, the "base" not particularly sturdy and it was rested a square of closed cell foam padding. It didn't seem to care if the padding was up against the trigger, or at center of weight farther toward muzzle at balance point.As before, a solid cheek weld throws the POA quite a bit. My thumb on top opposing trigger finger, no change if removed. Maybe 20-25 rounds in that big hole. Looks like two groups, seen that before.Then the top 3 rounds, two on bottom hole. Strange, just strange.Maybe I'm just being lazy, I have a vise and some grips for holding a gun barrel in the (plastic) jaws. I suppose it can stay cocked long enough to bronze brush it and run some patches. I thing that's my next step, along with perhaps ordering some other pellets to try (?)It makes enough noise I'm not sure if I hear the piston hitting the end of the chamber or not, but quite the kick for an air gun at 13 Fpe. I'm beginning to wonder if the scope is whack, as paralax settings are way higher than actual.Here's the target
