    How long do I rub on my Impact bore before I give up?

    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...

    How long do I rub on my Impact bore before I give up?

    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.

    How long do I rub on my Impact bore before I give up?

    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...

    How long do I rub on my Impact bore before I give up?

    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.

    How long do I rub on my Impact bore before I give up?

    .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...

    .50 Hammer 0-rings?

    .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...

    FX Panthera Over-hype Video ???

    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...

    Sekhmet Pcp Airgun Accessories

    I have 4 of those gauges. They work great, but two of them went dead/blank last week for some odd reason. Not a charger or charging problem. Just out of warranty so they offered me 15% off on new ones.

    FX Impact tensioned barrel question............/

    The way I see the set up, it is tensioning the barrel housing and not the actual barrel liner. To truly be a tensioned barrel, the liner would have to be threaded/captured on both ends. I see it as the tighter you turn the muzzle cap, the more the barrel housing is tensioned/stretched, relieving...

    FX Smooth twist X Superior barrel with BAD drill markings (22 cal M3)

    Nice reply from FX USA :) :) Hello Harley, We have seen this on a VERY few amount of barrels over the years, probably originally an issue with the raw metal stock before FX receives it, and then as you said it shoots well so it goes unnoticed. We will be glad to replace it if you would like...
