If it shoots the way you say it does, I wouldn't bother with the linseed oil at all 👀😬 If that was my rifle I'd be calling Air Arms and see if I could get a different one and if that failed it would be on the auction block and I'd never have a good thing to say about that company again. Frankly I think $1,600 for a spring piston air rifle is outrageous especially considering they seem to have a reputation for not performing well based on some of the comments here?
