Hello from SoCal

[Borderplinker]

Hello All,
I am new to the forum and just wanted to say hi.
I found my boyhood air rifle at my Dad's house and have set out to clean it up and use it.
It is a Hy-Score model 806 which I have learned is a Diana Model 22.
This has rekindled my interest in air rifles.
I am looking forward to learning and sharing with you all.
Thanks,
Mark

Thank you JDR! I carried that little hy-score all over the hills when I was a kid. Looking forward to plinking with it again.

Thank you beerthief. I appreciate the cleaning advice. Do you use Hoppes #9 with the patch?

Welcome from another So Cal guy (Oceanside). You stumbled upon a great forum & great people sharing this passion. Prepare to become addicted.
Try a hard nylon brush instead of brass on a cleaning rod & a pull-through type for patches will work great.

Thank you. I do have some balistol if needed. I will try just dry patches first though.

When I can't find a certain screw; I find one close and modify it to what I need it to be

Thank you. That's probably what I will end up doing.
