Cranfield Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I use my Hushpower 20ga O/U quite a lot , 100's of cartridges a week and it doesn't get cleaned every day. This means the coke build up inside the moderator tube can make removing it very difficult. I have now bought some brass wire brushes, which are sold as spark plug cleaners and taped them to an old walking stick. Two brushes back to back fit tight into the moderator and remove the coke perfectly. Not pretty, but its very efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I tried to get my tube off today for its annual clear out and despite putting copper ease on the threads it's absolutely stuck solid. tried heat gun and all manner of other things but I can't get the damned thing off. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 It sounds as though you clean yours as often as I clean mine. I put two cushions in a vice, put the stock in and holding the moderator near the end try to unscrew it. It sometimes takes a while, but I always get mine off. Once I clear the thread, I stop twisting and just move the mod up and down whilst pulling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
