As in my original post: "Barrel looked spotless right after the first patch...but I kept going till I gave up and replaced the breach O-ring, put the barrel back on and fired a shot out the back door" ......The next day, shot a few fouling shots and then shot the target. Accuracy returned...

Oh absolutely, but I am too anal about cleaning :-( Anyways, the accuracy is back and will probably be OK for the Summer. 5 shots at 80 yards.

All the chemical I used came packaged in a steel tin can, so they are NOT reacting to the steel barrel or the stainless steel cleaning rod. It is lead residue. My Hammer had a bad case of leading the bore and it did not take that long in cleaning before the Lead Wipe patches came out slightly...

It IS lead residue. Picture is the Lead Wipe cloth patch rubbed across a soft lead ingot for 6 passes with a light finger pressure..

It's a stainless rod and never touches the barrel. using a guide. :-)

Gauges and regulator were running spot on. O-ring also looked fine. Have not put it on target yet. All my PCP's cleaning patches come out with the black color on the lead wipes.

.30 Impact lost it's accuracy after about 1,000 shots. Decided to clean it. Took off the moderator and the barrel and ran patch after patch with Lead Wipe away, Ballistol, Goof-off spot remover, Brakleen and dry patches in rotation. None ever came out clean after at least a hundred passes total...

Has anybody had a tank blow apart on a gun? I knw my Ataman is about ten years old.... and may be my Wildcat. Who would even bother or be able to recertify those little tanks? Or just buy a new tank every ten years? ($)

Oops, my bad, 700 mm.

.50 Hammer "was" leaking out the regulator body. Took it apart and cleaned it. It was really crusty where the bigger 0-ring sits. Assembled with silicone grease on the old 0-rings and now it holds air, no leaks at all.............but I'm sure it will again (as nearly all PCP's)eventually do...

Over-hyped ? Wake up. Look around. Listen. Pay attention. Analyze. EVERYTHING is over-hyped.....whether it's a toaster, Vitamin B1, cars, shoes or whatever. Fake testimonials, paid reviewers and outright lies. We are all suckers to MARKETING :( :( (BTW, mine in 22/800 mm should be coming in 6...

Air guns for patriots has been a ghost for a couple years now. I've emailed him several times about his fill port and receive no response. I sent a message from my other email address and asked if a rifle was in stock.....no response :-(
