Shooting season is officially here, and whether you're heading out for game or hitting the clay pigeon range, your gear needs to be in peak condition.
Clean
Clean the Contamination
Fouling—the mixture of burnt powder, carbon, and metal residue—is the enemy of accuracy and smooth operation. It builds up rapidly and can cause jams, degrade rifling, and lead to corrosive rust. After ensuring your firearm is unloaded and field-stripped, you need a powerful degreaser to cut through the grime.
TYGRIS GUN CLEANER Degreaser(G500)This is your rapid-action solvent. Designed to quickly and effectively strip away carbon build-up, gunpowder residue, and old grease from the action, bolt, and barrel. Its formulation ensures rapid drying, leaving no oily residue, which is crucial before applying fresh lubricant.
Pro TipAlways clean the barrel from the breach (chamber) end if possible, pushing the residue out of the muzzle. Once the patches come out clean, the barrel is ready for the next step.
Lubricate
Protect the Finish
Your gun's exterior is constantly exposed to the elements, moisture, and the corrosive salts from your hands. Protecting the metal and wood/synthetic finish is vital to prevent rust and maintain its value. Finish the job with a protective barrier that seals out moisture.
TYGRIS Wipe Down Gun Oil Lubricant (G501)This light, high-quality oil is your final coat of armour. Apply a few drops to a clean, lint-free cloth and lightly wipe down all external metal surfaces. It displaces moisture and leaves a thin, non-tacky film that protects against rust, corrosion, and fingerprints while giving your gun a pristine, professional finish.
Protect
Lubricate the Action
A clean gun is useless if its moving parts are dry. Lubrication reduces metal-on-metal friction, ensuring smooth cycling, reliable trigger pull, and protection against wear. However, too much oil will attract dirt and turn into gunk. A small, precise application is best. Apply a high-performance oil only to the friction points.
TYGRIS TRIGGER Spring and Piston Lubricant (G502)Precision is the name of the game. This lubricant is perfect for the critical internal workings: the trigger mechanism, springs, hinges, and firing pin. It ensures maximum lubrication on high-friction components, keeping your action crisp, responsive, and ready for your next shot.
