twitchynik Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Anyone got any tips on getting that **** removed? Have tried giving the barrels a damn good rodding with a phosphor bronze brush and bore cleaner the last few cleans but it's not shifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Try wrapping the brush in 000 or 0000 wire wool and then putting the rod in a cordless drill. My gunsmith showed me that trick, he was shown it by the guys at the Beretta factory. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlistairB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 When they were showing me the wire wool trick, they mentioned PH009 as well. They recommended bunging the barrels with wine corks so you can stand them on their ends and let them soak, or give it a good swish about so you dont get covered in it, then wire brush it, followed by patches.

AlistairB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 They get a good clean after every use (eventually), but then a good spring clean twice a year (and i know it's not spring twice a year!). Might even treat them to a service this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlistairB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Nik, i dare say that exchange was of no help at all so apologies!! Reminder to self: have a closer look at Phils gun on saturday, check to see if it has ever seen any oil in it's long lifetime! AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Getting this back on track. I do clean my guns, using a Payne Gallway brush and fine wire wool, as described by Blackla, with Tetra Gun solvent instead of 009. It is thixotropic and therefore stays on the barrel walls better when applied with a patch than the liquid 009 for a long soaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miroku_Dave Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 You clean your guns?? On a serious note I just give my barrels a quick scrub with a bronze brush and then pull through with a bore snake, all the other bits get a wipe with an oily duster and that seems to work for me. I am a bit obsessive so she never seems to get that dirty!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schern Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I seem to get difficult to shift build up really quickly. It looks like I've got the gun spotless and then the next time I shoot and clean the gun I seem to have build up all over again! What cleaning rods to people use that will fit in a drill. None of my drills open up wide enough for my rod to fit, even on the threaded bit where you screw it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I cant remember what they are called, but one of my local gun shops has some very thin ones that you can take the end off, but they you need a brush with a US (i think) size thread (which most have if you take the european size screw thread off. If not, get a wooden one and trim it down carefully with a knife, or put it on a lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've got a three piece solid aluminium rod about 10mm in diameter Napier I think, it fits my B&D electric drill but I don't know what chuck size it has. There are some flimsy narrow, hollow rods about but I don't think they'd take too much abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
