Always clean a new barrel then take it out and shoot it
then another clean and then polish that barrel really good.

I got a Leshiy with a 250 mm .177 barrel, a 250mm .22 barrel, and a 350mm .25 barrel.
You guys are as bad as my wife. I can’t get away with anything.

A nice, heavy, initial soak with Ballistol followed by a good reaming with a nylon bristled brush head has done me well with new airgun barrels. I'll pull patches through afterwards, until the black, brown, and/or red coloration disappears and then shoot until accuracy diminishes. I'll then clean it with Ballistol sprayed more lightly in the barrel and pull patches through again until its clean, and then push some pellets through and see how the bite marks appear, which determines the polishing aggressiveness.

Good info!
Thank you mtnGhost
Two questions,please
What do you use for polishing? (tools & materials)
How do you interpret the bite marks on the pellet?
Thanks
Ed
