Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ What oil for gun maintenance?
For gun maintenance, we can use universal gun preparations with a triple action: cleaning, preserving and lubricating, such as Tetra Gun Triple Action, or specialized agents, such as Tetra Gun Reel Lubricant for reducing friction, Tetra Gun Copper Solvent for cleaning the barrel tube, and Tetra Gun Action Blaster for degreasing. Tetra Gun Wood Stock Oil 2 oz / 59 ml is worth using to maintain the wooden parts of the gun.
2️⃣ How to maintain small arms?
The most important rule for cleaning small arms is, of course, the regularity of the process. In the manual of the weapon you will find guidelines on how many shots the gun should be cleaned after, usually manufacturers recommend cleaning the gun after about 1000 shots. Before cleaning the weapon, the magazine should be disengaged, the lock should be pulled back and the cartridge chamber should be visually and manually inspected. After partially disassembling the gun, remove the carbon buildup "dry" with a paper towel, rag or nylon brush. We apply solvent to the key elements of the weapon (barrel and lock), which after several minutes softens the carbon build-up. The greatest attention should be paid to cleaning the barrel tube. Using a string or a scrubber with a brush, we remove the carbon buildup from the barrel (in the direction from the cartridge chamber to the barrel exit). Then we clean the lock and frame of the weapon. Small brushes, ear cleaning sticks and scrapers can be useful, helping to reach all the "nooks and crannies". After cleaning the weapon, lubricate the manufacturer's indicated components and mechanisms with a small amount of grease/oil. An element that should not be forgotten when cleaning the weapon is the magazine, where powder gas residues also accumulate.
3️⃣ How to maintain a white weapon?
For the maintenance of knives it is recommended to use professional synthetic oil Knife Oil. This agent can be used for carbon steel, stainless steel, is neutral to nickel and chrome coatings, plastics and rubber. The oil protects steel from corrosion, displaces water and reduces dust settling, lubricates and eliminates friction, and improves the culture of moving knife parts.
