General Comments

The Gamo Hunter 1250 gun isn't cheap! For its cost it should be of higher quality. When I fired this rifle 18 times the barrel flaked away leaving jagged edges and ruining accuracy. There might be people out in the market who cherish this gun and would defend it to the death, but I cleaned it before firing and kept it well oiled. The fact of the matter is this happened to me twice in a row, now how do you explain that?

   Not sure what is meant by the barrel flaked away. I have heard that Gamo has had problems with consistent quality control. Did you buy two of these guns and both exhibited the same problem?

   Hi
   I have not had any trouble with my air gun. Hopefully you did not put any lubricating oil in the barrel or in the cylinder, that would increase pressure and damage the gun and possibly smash the cylinder.
   Read the handbook and stick to the rules and you'll have thousands of pellets worth of quality shooting.
   Good shooting bro' .

   When I bought my gamo 1250 I was having alot of problems getting any accuracy. At first I thought that it was the ammo because I was using crossman .177 7.5 gr, gamo magnums, and gamo master points. Someone suggested that I try 10.5 gr pellets because it fires way to fast. I continued getting the same problems until I noticed oneday that pellets were flying out sideways on paper. I checked the barrel and noticed that it was flaked leaving a tiny edge near the middle. I had it shipped out almost 1 month ago and wait eagerly to test it out with a new barrel.

   You don't need to clean your new gun and you absolutely don't need to lube your new air guns!!!! This is most likely where your problem is. New spring piston air guns are already lubricated more than enough. You should never put any oil into the barrel and only 2 drops of air gun oil into the chamber once a year. I believe that Gamo says not to oil the chamber at all though, so make sure you read the instructions before doing anything. Putting oil into the chamber or into the barrel causes whats called "dieseling". The guns spring piston creates high pressure that causes the oil to explode. This is probably why your barrel has chipped. I hope you didn't do this because if Gamo thinks you did, they won't cover it under the warranty. When you get your gun back just start shooting it, and what ever you do don't, please!!!, don't oil it. Oil on the outside to prevent rust is okay if it's air gun oil. Never use regular gun oil. The solvents in it can ruin your guns seals and finish. To clean the bore use dry cleaning pellets. You can get these at most gun stores or online. No solvent and no oil! Good luck!
