Easy barrel cleaning video

[Michael]

I recently picked up a new/used air rifle and one of the first things I like to do is clean the barrel. Which reminded me of this video.

I don't claim to have invented this method, I just want to share it.

Hi Michael. In the video you mentioned "with the exception of smooth twist barrels" does this mean the accuracy on fx barrels doesn't get as impacted by dirt as compared to a normal barrel. If so what's the science behind that? Best. FearNLoading

ST just don't foul as fast because the only rifling (actually twisting) is near the muzzle. The rest of the barrel is smoooooth.

Always love your videos Michael.
I really like your multiple patch idea.

I've always used the " JL Crown Saver". Steve and Charlie sent one with my .25 Cricket Rifle and I've been using it with success ever since.
Couldn't believe that thing would fit in the .177 barrel of my AA S500 but it does and I use it on all my rifles .177,.22, and .25.

I google searched a few links for those interested.

JL Stands for Jack Lewis, may he rest in peace!

Gotta say thanks @michael. That's the easiest barrel cleaning I've ever done. Worked like a charm in my .25 Wildcat.
Also, make this thread a sticky. It deserves a place on top.
