FX Impact after rain.

I avoid that at all cost. I carry a folded up trashbag in my back pocket.....and never forget it. I got caught in the rain with a tx200 once......it only stayed wet for about 30 minutes tops. I walked in the house....took the stock off.....and completely disassembled it. Used a whole can of remoil dousing every metal part including down the barrell. The cleanup was the next day.....getting all the old lube out and remoil. Relubed.....put back together. Real pain in the ass. At the very least I would thoroughly clean the barrel in your case. Maybe take the bolt probe out before it flash rusts.

Have experience with several fx airguns, a word of cation! The quality of metal is very poor(porouse).In the past being a high quality PB guy I was way too relaxed when it came to moisture on these. This lead into 2 new barrels. My gunsmith inspected the barrels and told me to avoid any kind of moisture at all cost. This is not a bash by any means, all rifles were very accurate until the corrosion kicked in.

Back when I tinkered with these myself I used wd-40 successfully for years. Now it's the gunsmith, I'll get back to you on this one.

Someone did a independent test of 46 rust and corrosion products.

I use Renaissance Wax for PCP rifles. I try not use petroleum based products on PCPs. The wax works very well and the small jar I have seems like it will last a very long time.

My concern is, how to protect the inside of a PCP air rifle. Do we have to disasemble all the parts ?

Well my fire arms are corrosion resistant . They are less demanding than my air gun for sprigs and fancy parts inside,,,,huh ??!

It's hard to imagine the thought process or the series of events that would lead me to conduct a test of 46 rust and corrosion products. That guy has some serious patience.
