Hello, I had the Vantage NP but was having trouble cocking it. So I exchanged it for the spring model. It has around 500+ pellets .177 shot thru it. But the first shot of the day will Diesel. After that one shot all will be fine other then still getting some smoke and the smell of burning oil. Have I just not shot enough though it yet? One more question, I went through a Scope when I had the Vantage NP. I also have a Crosman Titan NP and would like to use the replacement scope that was on the Vantage. What is harder on Scopes, the NP or Spring?
Thanks!!

Springs have slightly more violent recoil than nitro pistons, as far as I can tell.
In regards to the dieseling, I'm not too sure! |

| Id break it down and clean it. You might or might not be surprised at how much grease they jam in there. |

Have had the stock off when I put the CDT trigger in. The spring was VERY wet with oil or grease. How do I remove some? Thanks for the replies.

If it's oil and you dn't want to take it apart, you can likely blow some of it out with compressed air- but cover it with a towel first or you may have a alot of oilspray.
You could continue to shoot it- eventually the oil will come out (how long depends on how much oil), or put some silicone chamber oil in the transfer port, shoot it for awhile, add some more- it will help displace regular oil. |

Well I took it out of the stock and blew it out. There was a lot of oil that came out. The spring was really wet and even the trigger group seemed to have more oil then it needed. Anyway kept wiping it off then more air. Put it back together and sounded fine. NO big "bang" Hope that does it. It kind of had the neighbors wondering what was being shot lol. Thanks for the help. I ended up putting the better scope on the NP and hope that will be easier on it then the spring Vantage. Thanks for the help.
