Welcome Patchworm!
Great item, as it’s easier to mess up a crown or bore with a Knick than most would think. Just film through borescope & compare a year or two later. Nothing but Tornado brushes now for deep clean.
Also no need to remove any device on muzzle with a Patchworm. You simply use a straw or dedicated hollow nylon tube to catch and draw through baffles.
You ideally want to always clean from breech out through muzzle. Some airguns don’t make that easy with short magazine loading area/breech. I had to cut off the brass end of my Boresnake & debur it, polish and now it works for most every gun but it’s short and wasn’t designed especially for airguns like this “new” Patchworm.
I believe I’ll buy a kit or at least the nice felt & precut round patches. I’ve been using weedwhacker line for over 10 years for a simple pull through.
You definitely need a good one piece rod for any type of pushing pellets, etc. through though. I don’t know if Otis makes a good .177 carbon fiber one piece or who. Anyone know?

Have something similar many years ago (30 yrs) but does not have that plug to uniformly push pad all the way around... great idea... can't wait to give it a go!

Very good product. I have been using it for the last year after seeing a video by Tom (Tomcat). Works great on my airguns and my .22 rimfires.

Welcome!
Had been using the crown saver setup for a few years until I heard about the patchworm. Love the system! Gets a much better clean this way and won't go back! Have both .177 and normal kit. Saves on patches also!

Wow, I’ve been shooting for quite a number of years and never seen the patchwork system. I’m going to purchase a set for each of my three range boxes: airguns, handgun & rifle. Thanks for the information guys!

jking Sir,
I see you lost the white bushing and I found out that Patchworm has them (replacement) for $1 each. I have not used their system before but ordered a set for both rifle and handgun and ... since I read about your “loss” I ordered two more white bushings since Murphy’s Law often applies to me too! Lol

Never tried Patchworm, but I do need to go hard on these break barrels. I guess I’ll cop me some of those pieces ASAP.
