bennyblanco Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Bore snake every couple of hundred rounds, rod and patches roughly every thousand. I made a bore guide for the hummer as the anschutz is a ****** to get the rod in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadioles Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I use a Dewey rod with a brass end bit that spears small cotton patches. Rimfire Magic are a good source. A plastic bore guide is essential. I had to get mine for the Anschutz sent from Sinclair in USA but for CZ can get in UK. Patches are soaked in copper solvent and 009 then finally a drop of oil. The rifling is really thin so needs treating with care. I don't use brass brushes (well, very rarely) and although I have a bore snake I don't use it as it has a brass brush embedded in the end and I am sure you will slowly round off the barrel edges pulling it through. I give my Anschutz a clean through whenever I feel like it (therapy). The moderators (DM80 and SAK) gets stripped and washed through regularly (toothbrush, soap and water) as they quickly fill up with muck. It is a good idea to store the moderator off the gun. I also keep a couple of silicon dessicator packs in the bottom of the gun safe. If you buy a tv or other electrical equipment there are often a couple of these in the box (amusinglay labelled "do not eat") and rather than throw them away, stick them in the gun cabinet. My theory is that they will reduce corrosion in the metal but not dry out the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
