Crown Cleaning

[archerhmr]

Since I was switching from .25 to .177 on the Crown. I figured I would give the .25 a good cleaning. This would be the second barrel cleaning after 1000 rounds. I took the shroud off and pulled the liner out of the barrel tube. The inside of the shroud and the air diverter on the end of the barrel tube were filthy. Even after soaking with Ballistal I still had to scrape lead off the diverter. There was lead residue in the shroud tube also. Now the barrel tube was dirty I assume from the factory since it is essentially sealed. I used Ballistal on everything since it should not harm the orings. I then did a final cleaning of the barrel with AOA barrel cleaner to remove oil residue. Exposed orings were greased with a little silicone.

This will become part of my regular cleaning routine since it is so easy to take everything apart.

That's interesting. Maybe I'll pull the shroud on my Wildcat and see if it needs cleaning at the air stripper. It's been about 1,000 pellets now.

archerhmr The first time I cleaned my mrod & synrod I pulled the tube off with the baffels what a filthy mess. Had a hell of a time to clean the tube & plastic strippers with ballistal. IF I remember right even tried acetone its hard to get that lead dust off of the parts. If someone else has a better solution please chime in. Darell

If you want to keep the x-liner clean, for longer time, you can try to lube the pellets with some ballistol. Just put some on the white filt, which comes with the pellet tin, and close the box. Then move it arround, so the oil can reach most of the pellets, and you probably doeas not have to clean the liner as often.

Be careful using acetone on plastic parts. It will eat some of them.

Initially I always give my barrels a thorough cleaning with JB bore paste then a cleaner lubricant. Then after each session i pull a few patches with CLP through it.

Cleaning in frequent intervals reduces the needs to do thorough cleanings.

Michael, I know there was some discussion on another thread concerning JB Bore Paste. How do you clean? Do you use a patch or brush?

Thank,
