How do I clean it?   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:25 pm ljeff20 New Member Joined: 26 Oct 2011 Posts: 3 So, my son thought he would be helpful and decided to oil our Crosman Phantom. Problem is, he used way too much oil. Is there a way to clean out the excess oil without tearing it completely apart?   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 1:54 pm Nightshade Member Joined: 21 Oct 2011 Posts: 14 NO...........   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 1:58 pm Nightshade Member Joined: 21 Oct 2011 Posts: 14 NO...........   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 2:45 pm RVTMaverick Member Joined: 05 Sep 2011 Posts: 59 Location: VA. I'll have to disagree with Nightshade on this one,.. IF You have an air compressor, You can get rid of the oil with "Simply Green" and blow it out and then relube to Your spec.   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 6:10 pm WhitleyStu Veteran Member Joined: 15 Feb 2011 Posts: 202 Location: NE Indiana U.S.A. Did he put excessive oil in the chamber or on the spring?   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 6:14 pm ljeff20 New Member Joined: 26 Oct 2011 Posts: 3 I guess just the spring. He took off the stock and squirted it all over the spring mechanism. Enough that it was dripping down the stock after he put it away. Some must've gotten into the chamber though, because it's dieseling like mad.   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 9:02 pm SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario Take it out of the stock and hose it down with real brakleen. (it needs to say "Non Flammable" Hose down the chamber as well then blow it out with compressed air. let it air out for a day then re lube properly I guarantee it will not damage the type of seal material used in a Phantom. _________________ Sean   Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 9:26 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Careful with the brakleen- depending on how well the bluing is done, it may wash off if you wipe anything with wet brake cleaner on it- let it 'air dry' without touching it. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

My phantoms and quests are okay with brakleen but it has wiped the finish right off some parts of a 1377. (easier to reblue that way And be sure to wipe down every inch with a silicone rag, etc, after the treatment. the brakleen with remove every trace of protective oil film. _________________ Sean   Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 6:29 pm Nightshade Member Joined: 21 Oct 2011 Posts: 14 RVTMaverick wrote: I'll have to disagree with Nightshade on this one,..

Here's my penny His son was helping and over did the oil job,... my thought is anywhere "oil" can go... so can "Simple Green" and especially with an extra Turbo kick via Air comppresor, all excess oil would go. Ofcourse, it will not be a Completely sweet job as tear down and reassembly would be but, all in all, My thought was it would do a good enough job, just not a show room job you know... Peace Jeff PS. Hopefully this penny will added up to a pound...?   Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:31 pm RVTMaverick Member Joined: 05 Sep 2011 Posts: 59 Location: VA. ljeff20 wrote: RVTMaverick wrote: I'll have to disagree with Nightshade on this one,..
