Crown saver & patch or Swab-its for Smooth Twist barrels?
- Thread starter mcoulter
- Start date
I use a crown saver also because it's the best dang pull thru that I've ever seen ... you can make your patches just as tight as you want to and don't have to worry about the loop breakin' . For patches I use Napier Rifle Clean it's super absorbent and just a few patches will get everything in the bore. Sometimes I will put a little Ballistol on the Napier patches and it usually does a banged up job on my Impact.

It's a pull-through style cleaner. You slide it from the muzzle down the barrel until it comes our the breech where you put a cleaning patch through the loop. You then pull it back out the barrel.

I went back to a carbon rod Gunslick in .17 with a nylon patch end. Then brass end can have a piece of heat shrink around that part to have zero metal touching. I got tired of the LDC catching my cord.

Pull thru types are too time consuming and fiddly. Good quality rod that turns and a brass jag is what I use.

I use the Napier pull through with all my rifles both air and PB. Works well with either normal cotton patches or the Napier patches.
