Cleaning issue with pull through

[Elbowgrease]

I just use a piece of cheapo 50lb fishing line with a patch tied to it. Best thing I have ever used. I also will use some kind of cleaner to damp the patch with. Not soak but dampen. Depending what you use you might not want to much getting into the barrels port hole. I always follow up with a dry patch or 3. Never had any issues with breach o-rings.

I wonder if anyone has tried the fishing line idea with a long piece of cloth similar to the bore snake idea. Might get the bore fairly clean in one or two pulls.

Once I cut a long fabric (about 70cm) then buy fishing line I pulled it trough barrel. So I could pull it backward and forward but it didn't worth it. lots of time cutting, pulling and lubing then for removing oil in barrel you have to use clean one again. So don't waste your time.

It happened to me when I had bobcat. Several O-ring failed , all of them had explosive decompression problem. Some times after 50 shoots and some times after 300 shoots.

For overcome this problem I used tougher and bigger O-ring. For me it didn't happened again.

I believe higher the pressure, faster the barrel O-ring blows off. I think if daystate used regulator in it's electronical Pcp would make them better guns.

Good afternoon-

Hookster's dimensions, 1.5 x 5 appear accurate, from my measurements.

I posted an enquiry, today, directly to Daystate requesting all seal dimensions, and a complete parts schematic for the Red Wolf rifle. Daystate is closed on Monday for the summer bank holiday, though. I will post whatever information I receive, from them.

Kind regards,

thanks much for the o-ring link. ordered a supply of breech o-rings today. did you receive a parts schematic and list from daystate? i have been searching for this with no luck yet.

How about using a push rod with a felt plug at the end ? you can glue a collar on the rod to limit how far it can go inside the barrel so that the apparently very delicate O-ring will not be touched in the cleaning process.

Breech oring is 5x1.5 and for HP get the Viton type, it comes in green color and will work well.

i have the full diagram including all parts, will upload it tomorrow.

Thank you very much. I also have been looking all over for this. Now we need to know where to order these parts like the orings, etc.

be careful not to poke the o-ring with the sharp end of your pull thur when first starting ??
