Air Rifle, Air Pistol & PCP Accessories

Accessories for air rifles and air pistols

Discover a wide selection of accessories for air rifles, air pistols, CO₂ guns and PCP air rifles at Carbin. This category brings together everything you need for recreational shooting, improving accuracy, maintaining your equipment, transporting it safely and adapting each rifle or pistol to the shooter’s needs.

Our range includes targets, CO₂ cartridges, magazines, air rifle cases, pistol cases, cleaning products, scope mounts, shooting rests, chronographs, adapters, spare parts and PCP accessories, along with many other useful components.

The variety available makes it possible to find accessories for spring-powered air rifles, gas ram systems, CO₂ guns and pre-charged pneumatic rifles, with options for common calibres such as 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.35 mm and 7.62 mm.

Before choosing an accessory, always check the brand, exact model, calibre and operating system of your rifle or pistol. Some products are universal, while others are designed specifically for a particular model.

What airgun accessories can you find?

Air rifles and air pistols can be used with a wide range of accessories. Some are essential for operation, while others improve the shooting experience, protect the equipment or make maintenance easier.

In this category you will find accessories designed to:

• Practise shooting on different types of targets.
• Transport air rifles and pistols safely and securely.
• Clean the barrel and maintain the internal mechanisms.
• Mount scopes, red dot sights and other aiming systems.
• Measure pellet muzzle velocity.
• Improve stability while shooting.
• Use and maintain PCP air rifles.
• Power pistols and rifles with CO₂ cartridges.
• Replace magazines, adapters and small components.
• Set up a training or zeroing area.

Targets for air rifles and air pistols

Targets for air rifles and air pistols are essential for precision shooting, zeroing a scope and checking the grouping achieved with a particular rifle and pellet combination.

Different target systems are available depending on the intended use:

• Paper targets: ideal for checking groups, adjusting scopes and recording results from each shooting session.
• Target holders and pellet traps: hold paper targets securely and collect some of the fired pellets.
• Metal targets: provide a visible or audible response when hit.
• Spinner targets: feature moving elements that rotate or swing after impact.
• Knockdown targets: allow more dynamic training and make successful hits easy to identify.
• Resettable targets: can be returned to their original position without constantly walking downrange.

The correct target should be chosen according to shooting distance, rifle power, calibre and location. A safe backstop must always be used to stop pellets and reduce the risk of ricochets.

CO₂ cartridges for pistols and rifles

CO₂ cartridges provide the energy required by many air pistols, revolvers and rifles. Depending on the model, they may use different sizes, including common 12-gram CO₂ capsules or larger-capacity cylinders.

Before purchasing CO₂ cartridges, check the format specified by the manufacturer. Not all airguns use the same cartridge size or connection system.

To help preserve the seals, we recommend:

• Installing the cartridge correctly without forcing the thread or closing mechanism.
• Keeping the piercing area clean.
• Using only lubricants that are compatible with seals when recommended by the manufacturer.
• Not leaving a pierced cartridge inside the gun for long periods if the manual advises against it.
• Storing cartridges in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.

A small amount of CO₂ may remain in the cartridge after a shooting session. The number of shots available depends on the model, ambient temperature, firing rate and internal operating system.

Accessories for PCP air rifles

PCP air rifles operate using pre-compressed air stored inside a cylinder or reservoir. For this reason, they require specific accessories for filling, monitoring and maintenance.

Common PCP accessories include:

• Filling probes and adapters.
• Filling hoses and connectors.
• Valves and couplings.
• Pressure gauges.
• Multi-shot magazines.
• Single-shot trays.
• Air cylinders and compatible filling systems.
• Maintenance parts.
• Regulators and model-specific accessories.

PCP connections are not necessarily universal. Two pre-charged pneumatic rifles may require different probes, threads or adapters. It is essential to check the exact model and the working pressure specified by the manufacturer.

The maximum permitted cylinder pressure must never be exceeded. Filling should always be carried out gradually using compatible equipment in good condition.

Magazines for air rifles

Magazines for PCP air rifles and pellet rifles allow several shots to be fired before the rifle needs to be reloaded. Their capacity and operation depend on the rifle model and calibre.

When selecting a magazine, check:

• The rifle brand.
• The exact model.
• The calibre: 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.35 mm or another calibre.
• The magazine capacity.
• The direction of rotation or insertion.
• The generation or version of the rifle.

A magazine from the same brand is not automatically compatible with every model. Even the same rifle may use different magazines depending on its year of manufacture or technical generation.

Magazines for air pistols and CO₂ pistols

We also offer magazines for air pistols, CO₂ pistols and airgun replicas. Depending on the system, the magazine may hold pellets, steel BBs or also house the CO₂ cartridge.

Before choosing a pistol magazine, identify:

• The full model name.
• The type of ammunition used.
• The calibre.
• The capacity.
• Compatibility with the exact version of the gun.

Do not choose a magazine based only on its appearance. Two visually similar magazines may differ in locking system, ammunition feed, valve design or internal dimensions.

Air rifle cases and gun slips

Air rifle cases and gun slips help protect equipment during storage and transport. They reduce the risk of knocks, scratches, dust and direct contact with other objects.

You will find cases in different lengths, materials and protection levels:

• Lightly padded gun slips.
• Semi-rigid rifle cases.
• Cases with foam padding.
• Cases with additional storage pockets.
• Cases for scoped air rifles.
• Models with handles and shoulder straps.

To choose the right case, measure the total length of the rifle and take into account the height of the scope, turrets, moderator and any other fitted accessory.

A case that is too tight may place pressure on the scope or make closing difficult. A case that is much too large may allow the rifle to move excessively during transport.

Cases for air pistols

Cases and storage boxes for air pistols keep equipment organised and protect the pistol from knocks, dust and scratches.

Depending on the level of protection required, you can choose from:

• Padded fabric cases.
• Compact pistol sleeves.
• Hard cases with foam interiors.
• Cases with space for magazines and CO₂ cartridges.
• Larger cases for carrying additional accessories.

Always check the internal measurements rather than relying only on external dimensions. The pistol should fit comfortably, especially when fitted with a red dot sight, moderator or mounting system.

Air rifle cleaning and maintenance

Proper maintenance helps preserve the accuracy, reliability and appearance of an air rifle or air pistol.

At Carbin you will find a range of airgun cleaning products and maintenance accessories:

• Cleaning rods.
• Cleaning brushes and bore tools.
• Patches and cleaning pellets.
• Felt cleaning pellets.
• Oils for metal surfaces.
• Specialist lubricants.
• Cleaning cloths.
• Complete airgun cleaning kits.
• Products designed to protect against moisture and corrosion.

Not all oils and greases are suitable for every mechanism. In spring-powered or gas ram rifles, too much lubricant in certain areas can cause dieseling or changes in performance. CO₂ and PCP guns also require products that are compatible with seals and high-pressure systems.

How often should an air rifle be cleaned?

There is no single cleaning interval. It depends on the number of shots fired, the type of pellet used, environmental conditions, the gun’s operating system and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

As part of general maintenance, it is advisable to:

• Wipe down the exterior after handling.
• Remove all moisture before storage.
• Check screws and mounts regularly.
• Clean the barrel when accuracy declines or visible deposits appear.
• Avoid unnecessary or overly aggressive internal cleaning.

Scope mounts for air rifles

Scope mounts for air rifles securely attach the optic to the gun. To choose the correct mount, you need to check both the rifle rail and the scope tube diameter.

The main points to consider are:

• 11 mm dovetail rail or Picatinny/Weaver rail.
• 1-inch or 30 mm scope tube.
• Low, medium or high mounting height.
• One-piece mount or separate scope rings.
• Whether an arrestor pin is required.
• Available clearance for the objective lens and turrets.

Spring-powered and gas ram rifles generate a distinctive two-way recoil that can move unsuitable mounts. In these cases, it is important to use appropriate rings and check whether the rifle includes a hole for an arrestor pin.

Accessories for improving accuracy

Accuracy does not depend on the rifle alone. Shooter stability, scope setup, pellet choice, support and shooting technique all influence the final result.

Accessories that can help improve accuracy include:

• Shooting rests.
• Front and rear shooting bags.
• Bipods.
• Tripods and shooting supports.
• Scope mounts.
• Levels and optical accessories.
• Chronographs.
• Grouping targets.

A stable support is especially useful when zeroing a scope, comparing different pellets and determining whether inconsistencies are caused by the equipment or the shooter’s technique.

Shooting rests and support bags

Shooting rests for air rifles hold the rifle steadily while zeroing, testing groups or carrying out basic maintenance.

Shooting bags offer a simple and versatile alternative. They can be used to support the front of the rifle, the stock or both areas.

Spring-powered rifles should not be clamped too rigidly. This type of system can be sensitive to the support point and the amount of pressure applied by the shooter.

Bipods for PCP and air rifles

An air rifle bipod provides a stable front support when shooting from a bench, prone position or fixed location.

Before purchasing one, check the attachment system:

• Picatinny rail.
• Sling swivel stud.
• Specific mounting adapter.
• Cylinder or air bottle mount.
• Integrated lower stock rail.

You should also consider height, tilt adjustment, leg spread and overall weight.

Chronographs for air rifles

Ballistic chronographs measure the muzzle velocity of a pellet. They are useful for analysing air rifle performance, estimating power and checking consistency between shots.

A chronograph can be used to:

• Measure velocity in metres per second.
• Compare different pellets.
• Check the consistency of a PCP air rifle.
• Detect power variations.
• Verify adjustments and maintenance work.
• Estimate energy with a specific pellet.

To calculate energy accurately, the actual pellet weight must be entered. Two pellets of the same calibre can have very different weights and therefore produce different energy figures.

Accessories by air rifle type

Accessories for spring-powered air rifles

Spring-powered air rifles commonly use recoil-rated scopes, mounts with arrestor systems, rifle cases, cleaning kits, targets and shooting rests.

The movement of the spring and piston may require a scope and mount specifically designed to withstand the recoil characteristics of an air rifle.

Accessories for gas ram air rifles

Gas ram rifles share many accessories with spring-powered models, including cases, scopes, mounts, targets, rests and cleaning products.

Although the firing cycle may feel different, it is still essential to check that the scope and mounts are suitable for this type of rifle.

Accessories for PCP air rifles

In addition to scopes, cases, magazines and rests, PCP rifles may require filling probes, hoses, adapters, air cylinders, pressure gauges and other components associated with pre-compressed air.

Connection compatibility and maximum filling pressure are essential considerations.

Accessories for CO₂ pistols

For CO₂ pistols, you will find cartridges, magazines, cases, seal-care products, targets, steel BBs, pellets and various model-specific accessories.

Before purchasing ammunition or magazines, check whether the pistol uses diabolo pellets, steel BBs or both.

Accessories for 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm and 6.35 mm calibres

Some accessories depend directly on calibre. These include magazines, cleaning rods, brushes, felt pellets, cleaning pellets, single-shot trays and certain internal parts.

Accessories for 4.5 mm calibre

The 4.5 mm calibre is widely used in air rifles and pistols intended for recreational and precision shooting. A broad selection of compatible magazines, cleaning products and accessories is available.

Accessories for 5.5 mm calibre

The 5.5 mm calibre is commonly found in more powerful air rifles and many PCP models. Magazines and components must be clearly identified for this calibre.

Accessories for 6.35 mm calibre

The 6.35 mm calibre is mainly used in PCP air rifles. Magazines, probes, single-shot trays and cleaning equipment must match both the model and calibre.

Never determine calibre based only on the appearance of a component. Always check the description and manufacturer’s reference.

How to choose accessories for an air rifle

To reduce the risk of compatibility errors, we recommend following these steps:

1. Identify the brand and exact model. Check the markings on the rifle, the packaging or the manual.
2. Check the calibre. It may be shown as 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.35 mm, .177, .22 or .25.
3. Identify the operating system. Spring, gas ram, PCP or CO₂.
4. Check the mounting system. This is especially important for scopes, mounts, bipods and adapters.
5. Check the dimensions. This is essential for cases, storage boxes and mounting components.
6. Compare the manufacturer’s reference. This is the safest way to distinguish between similar parts.
7. Ask for advice if necessary. Provide the full model name so compatibility can be checked.

Frequently asked questions about airgun accessories

What accessories does an air rifle need?

This depends on the type of rifle and how it will be used. Common accessories include a rifle case, targets, pellets, cleaning products, a scope, mounts and a shooting rest. PCP rifles may also require a pump, air cylinder, probe or filling adapter.

Are all air rifle accessories universal?

No. Some products, such as certain cases, targets and shooting bags, can be used with many models. Magazines, PCP filling probes, adapters, seals and spare parts are often model-specific.

How do I know whether a magazine is compatible with my air rifle?

Check the brand, exact model, calibre and, where applicable, the generation or version. Visual similarity alone does not guarantee compatibility.

What case do I need for an air rifle with a scope?

You need a case with enough length and height to hold the rifle with the scope fitted. Measure the total length and the height from the lowest point of the rifle to the highest point of the scope.

Can I use any oil on an air rifle?

No. Only products designed for airguns and compatible with the operating system and seals should be used. The wrong lubricant, or too much lubricant, can affect performance.

Are 11 mm and Picatinny mounts the same?

No. They are different mounting systems. Before purchasing rings or a scope mount, check which rail is fitted to your rifle.

What diameter scope rings do I need?

This depends on the diameter of the scope’s main tube. The most common sizes are 1 inch and 30 mm. Do not confuse the tube diameter with the diameter of the objective lens.

What is a chronograph used for with an air rifle?

A chronograph measures pellet velocity and helps assess shot-to-shot consistency. By combining velocity with pellet weight, it is also possible to estimate muzzle energy.

Do 12-gram CO₂ cartridges fit every air pistol?

No. Many pistols use 12-gram cartridges, but other models use different formats or specific systems. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

What accessories do I need to fill a PCP air rifle?

You need a compatible air source, such as a hand pump or air cylinder, together with the correct hose, filling probe or adapter. The maximum pressure specified by the manufacturer must always be respected.

Can I fit a bipod to any air rifle?

Not directly. The rifle must have a compatible mounting point or use a specific adapter. Also check that the bipod does not obstruct the cocking lever, cylinder or barrel.

How can I improve the accuracy of my air rifle?

Use suitable pellets, check the scope and mounts, shoot from a stable support and test several types of ammunition. A shooting rest, support bag and chronograph can help identify the source of inconsistencies.

How often should I clean the barrel?

It is generally unnecessary to clean the barrel after every use. Cleaning may be useful if accuracy declines, you change pellet type or visible deposits appear. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

What is the difference between PCP and CO₂ accessories?

PCP rifles use air stored at high pressure and require specific filling and connection accessories. CO₂ guns operate using disposable or refillable carbon dioxide cartridges or cylinders.

Do accessories depend on calibre?

Some do. Magazines, brushes, cleaning rods, cleaning pellets and single-shot trays must match the calibre of the rifle or pistol.
