As long as I was at it, checked Daystate. The manual for the Red Wolf, under the Maintenance section says:
BARREL CLEANING For optimum performance, the barrel should be periodically cleaned with a barrel cleaning solution recommended for air rifles, or a pellet lubricant. Daystate also advises the use of a lubricant applied to the pellets to reduce lead deposits and maintain the barrel. Frequency of cleaning depends on the pellet type used and the individual barrel; for general guidance, the barrel should be cleaned after every 500 shots
The FX Dreamline Manual says:
Cleaning • Keep the rifle clean and wipe it off with regular gun-oil and a cloth occasionally. • We recommend that you use cleaning pellets occasionally. • These you can use without the risk of damaging the barrel. WARNING: Never use chemicals or water to clean the rifle.
Edgun for the R5 is pretty sparse with:
Periodically clean the rifle barrel channel, means designed to care for the weapon (neutral gun oil, ramrod, visherov etc.)
take it for what you want, but seems the manufactures, except for Red Wolf, specifically recommend staying away from cleaning unless really needed. The question seems gun dependent.
