you can ignore it or you can prbly just take apart your gun and get into where the paint is. if it hasnt messed up your lpr then you dont HAVE to fix it

Use a really small allen key, or tooth pick.

If you have a oring pick that will work too.

^that.

It's how I clean out my eye ports and other small holes.
A Q-tip works well if you can fit it.

90% Alcohol, dries fast, use just a little bit.
Its a very good solvent... Just don't get it on O-rings.

I use a bit of alcohol, like Kurzen said, and I also use an o-ring pick (actually a dental tool set, but it works just as well!) to clean out vents and stuff. That vent essentially allows your spring stack to move back and forth after every shot, so the clearer it is, the faster your reg recharge will be!
