I've put 3,000 pellets through my 30 caliber impact and never cleaned it and 4,000 through my crown continuum in 25 and never cleaned either.. both will still hit a penny at 75 yards all day long... also I have never had to have them serviced for anything at all... Is this normal or have I been lucky the last year?
Is this normal?

Not for me and my .25s I used to have to clean every 100 shots but now I am at 600+, before accuracy drops off and I have to clean, with both my stx pellet barrel and the 700mm slug barrel. I also noticed the slugs fit tighter as the shots go by. They get so tight I wonder how they even make it out of the barrel but they are still shooting in the 960-980s. I can only dream of what you have.

Strelo32,
The less you mess with your guns, the more normal that is...Both of those guns are first class, I don't have personal experience with the crown but I do with the Impact...I have 2 of them after accidentaly destroying another one nd other than a minor seam issue with an o-ring that had a mold seam and slowly leaked, both guns behave pretty mucch like yours: Very precise tight groups...
I have shot 350-400 pellets before cleaning them without losing precision; I cleaned them as a benchrest practice for precision, but like you, neither gun was in need of cleaning.
Regards,
AZ

I asked the same question after owning my Royale 500 and Boss for a year or so. Been 3 years now & still have yet to do ANYTHING other than occasionally cleaning & some lubing. Thought I might be missing something but they're simply trouble free & DEPENDABLE!

I have an Impact 1st Gen, I haven’t had any problems with it, no blowing o-rings, nothing. Im happy with mine but I always find myself shooting my eastern girls!
