Cleaning the Black Diamond isn't really that hard if you know a single trick.
I unscrew the back of the gun where the spring, which propels the bolt, is located and I take out the spring and the bolt. After that, I put a 12 or 13 mm socket wrench (can't remember exactly what size) into where the bolt goes and I unscrew the nipple. After that, I can clean the barrel out pretty easily and I can make sure the nipple is extremely clean. Probably takes me about 30 minutes to really clean the gun out great. Of course, I can always do the field/speed cleanup by just running a patch down the barrel, but that doesn't get the gun squeeky clean.
The only problem I have ever had with my Black Diamond is a little bit of rust where the metal meets the synthetic stock, but it really isn't too bad. I just happen to be extremely picky.
