Axe Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I have always cleaned my barrels on all my rifles. If it shoots perfectly from new then keep the barrel clean. If, like others rifles it takes and few pellets to tighten the groups up, run it dirty. Make sure you store your rifle alongside a VP90 patch though. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I use a cleaning set put togther by someone on the BBS, it is a pull through device. Don't use any brass rods you can damage the barrell, some will say you can use rods but I never would. Cigarette filters for roll ups soaked in WD40 are meant to work well but I have never tried that method. Just watch out you don't drag out any seals (on a p.c.p.) when you are pulling stuff through the barrell. Oh and AXE is right, always store it with a V90 patch :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
