The last gun I got, I took a few shots before cleaning, just to check that the gun was working.

What do you use to polish the barrel?Clean and polish, every time.
Polishing typically involves something in the range of 1000 grit or finer like J-B Bore Compound. Here’s a good discussion on the topic from a while back:What do you use to polish the barrel?
and technically, polishing removes material, just a thought.
Not one gun is build exactly the same as another.Hi I keep hearing about this O Ring that can get dislodged when cleaning a barrel. Just where is this O Ring located i dont do much barrel cleaning but i am going to have to clean one when my Kral arrives.

Just remove any o-ring that could come into contact with cleaning products. Simple logics.
Personally I don't really care about that, if a o-ring becomes dry and/or is leaking air I just change it anyways.
I always buy at least one complete reseal kit along every new airgun. Saved myself a couple of unnessary headaches over the years.
Well i only clean the inside of the barrel. I really am unable to see how an O ring can reside inside the barrel.Not one gun is build exactly the same as another.

How about SemiChrome?Polishing typically involves something in the range of 1000 grit or finer like J-B Bore Compound. Here’s a good discussion on the topic from a while back:
Tuning - Barrel Polishing?
Interested in how folks are doing this. I’ve seen a couple different ways and the last was with a drill and a device I can’t remember the name of. As always thank youwww.airgunnation.com
With such a fine abrasive, it would take hours and hours of scrubbing to remove even a ten-thousandth of an inch (0.0001”). All it’s doing is knocking down microscopic surface fretting that remains from dragging through the rifling button. It will do nothing meaningful for defects visible to the naked eye like reamer marks, scratches from a crowning pilots, etc.
Most do have a sealing 0-ring just inside the breech, tons of fun to replace.Well i only clean the inside of the barrel. I really am unable to see how an O ring can reside inside the barrel.

My 110 mod easily unscrews.Another question. Should I clean the bore with my moderator installed? In my case the mod is bonded to the barrel. Weihrauch HW110
I have not used it myself but a search turns up some comments on knife forums indicating it’s for developing something closer to a mirror finish.How about SemiChrome?
From what I can determine, the export version for the USA has the moderator "bonded" to the barrel.My 110 mod easily unscrews.
Really that is crazy. Are you sure? Any owners like to confirm that. It makes no sence at all to me. Suppose the silencer goes faulty.From what I can determine, the export version for the USA has the moderator "bonded" to the barrel.
In a previous life I used a lot of the stuff to make things really shiny and very close fitting, given what I saw from Ernst that's where he headed.I have not used it myself but a search turns up some comments on knife forums indicating it’s for developing something closer to a mirror finish.
The phrase “polishing the bore” is perhaps misleading. I think smoothing is a better term. For that, we need an abrasive that will at least dull a polished surface.
The PatchWorm kits are great. Just remove the baffles or use a drinking straw to feed the line through the bafflesUtter noob here. Well, at least with air rifles. I’ve shot powder guns all my life, and have a lot of experience cleaning them. However, cleaning my Marauder has me stumped. I’d rather not try to shove a patch from the muzzle end, and my bore snake’s weight is too long to drop in from the breach. I’ve seen kits that look like weed whip line that one pulls through, but wouldn’t the curve of the line become jammed in the baffles? Do I pull them out first? Ideas? Thanks!
