Still in the early stages of my serious interest in airguns, I now have springers, co2, ssp and multipump guns. If something breaks, I imagine with the help of folks on AGN I can learn what parts I need to repair.
I am not at all handy but I enjoy trying to learn how to do simple maintenance. But my screwdrivers and allen wrenches, which worked fine for my firearms, never seem to fit just right. For supplies I basically have Pellgunoil and Ballistol.
In the Army we always had a basic parts list and it didn't matter what kind of unit it was, they included what parts, tools, oils, lubricants and other supplies were likely to be needed to perform preventive maintenance, and commonly needed repairs for the lower levels of maintenance.
I have looked on line and did not find anything like that for airguns. It would be great to hear the comments on this from those who are more skilled and knowledgeable than me (which would include just about everyone). What tools, parts and supplies do you have for basic level maintenance?
