I've owned an TC Omega for several years now. Just the basic Z5 model.
Despite buying several other muzzys, It wont relinquish it's place as the most accurate gun in the house. I was shooting yesterday for fun and to assure all was good for the season. As I was cleaning it up, I noticed a speck of rust where the hammer hits the firing pin! Totally unacceptable.
I removed the firing pin and found a bunch of bad stuff. Now, perhaps this is in the owners manual and perhaps you all clean this part of the gun but it's pretty easy to overlook.
Just thought this may help others with the same weapon. It's easy to clean but not previously in my routine.
That's an interesting point.
I have a Traditions Pursuit that has no easy way to access the firing pin. I have never removed it to clean that part of the rifle since I don't know how to do it. Does anyone have any recomendations?
Good points. The only hammer inline I own is the Genesis. Removing the firing pin and trigger assembly is a snap. All easy to get at and clean. And I make sure to clean those parts very often. But I often wondered how some of you get into those hammer guns that are not so simple.

I like to give it a blast with a spray can of carburetor cleaner after every shooting session.

there are 2 camps of people when it comes to cleaning and oiling. some get obessed about over oiling or using none at all for fear it will grab dust and dirt. im an over oiler but i make sure i get out any excess before shooting. for me it save alot of heartache of rust or parts that might freeze up. i dump oil using the red straw on the spray cans or the archery type thin needle bottle oilers right into all the voids. things like breech plugs and firing pin holes. i only use thin oils that spread easily but arent thick enough to grab and hold crunchy stuff. i love shooters choice fp-10.
