UMAREX USA PRODUCT AND SERVICE RELATED QUESTIONS

How do I keep the appearance of my airgun looking new?

For the exterior metal areas of your airgun, RWS Spring Cylinder Oil is recommended. Apply lightly.

How do I keep my CO2 air gun functioning like new?

You can extend the life of the valve/seal assemblies by applying a drop of RWS Chamber Lube to the tip of each CO2 cylinder prior to installing. Also, use high quality pellets that are very clean and that don't cause your pellet gun to jam. We recommend RWS Airgun Pellets.

What pellet is recommended for hunting applications?

RWS SuperDome pellets are a great all-around field pellet that offer both precision and knock-down power.

What pellet is recommended for Air Rifles?

It is best to use a high quality pellet that is consistent in shape and weight and that leaves very little lead residue in your air rifle's barrel. RWS pellets are German made to exacting standards for consistency and very little lead deposit. Because every air rifle is unique, we suggest shooting different types of pellets to learn which one best performs with your air rifle. For this reason, we recommend you start with an RWS Pellet Sampler.

What is the best type of CO2 cylinder to use in my air pistol?

We recommend Umarex CO2 cylinders for all CO2 powered air pistols.

My new break barrel air rifle's barrel won't break open for cocking and loading.

Air rifles are typically built with very close tolerances and can be "tight" when new. You may take the flat of your hand and give it a good tap just behind the front sight to break open your new air rifle. You can also put a couple drops of gun oil (RWS Spring Cylinder Oil recommended) where the barrel block pivots and that may help the issue. Be sure adhere to all gun safety rules when handling your air rifle.

The drop out magazine of my BB pistol will not drop free.

There may be a BB lodged in the magazine well. This can happen if you do not shoot all of the BBs out of the magazine prior to removing the magazine. If the magazine does drop out, but a BB remains lodged, you may be unable to reinsert the magazine. Use a flashlight to look up in the area where the magazine is inserted to see if a BB is lodged. Also, when inserting a BB magazine, keep the airgun in an upright position, not turned on it's side or upside down. ALWAYS be certain the airgun is ON SAFE and follow all gun safety precautions when working on or handling any gun.

The rechargeable battery for my Airsoft Gun gets hot.

It is best to use the charger that came with your airgun. Make sure the charger being used is designated for the type of battery you have. Batteries that get hot, meaning they exceed being warm to the touch, should not be charged again with the current charger being used. In general, the battery gets warm to the touch when full, but not hot. If the battery gets hot, it is likely the charger has malfunctioned. To verify, plug in a different battery. If that battery gets hot, remove it immediately and replace the charger.
