Yep, i was thinking initial cleaning, kinda :)
What i mean is that i had not cleaned my Benjamin Classic since i recieved it from another member. I have put a full tin( 500 ) of pellets through it and it was still smoking. I used Goo Gone last night to remove a LOT of crud that was in the barrel. The first 5/6 patches came out very black. The next 3/4 were much better. When i was happy with the wet patches i put 5/6 dry ones through it. I will be curious to see if it smokes now. Bill
