Cleaning Bobcat Barrel

cj_86 · Jul 20, 2015

Well, I wanted to clean the barrel so I thought this would speed things up if I tie a loop with 4 patches on it and continuously run it through and then finish it with single patches until its clean. Would there be a problem if I ran dirty patches through the barrel multiple times?

Thanks,
CJ

Shouldn't hurt anything. I turn my patches inside out use them a second time. I ues the Crown Saver pull though cleaner. Its pretty fast and use a straw to feed it through the baffles.

The crown saver looks like a neat tool! What type of bore cleaning oil and or solvents would you recommend for an air rifle? I use Bore Tech cleaner for my firearms ,but I'm a little hesitant to use it for an air rifle. Basically what I use is couple drops of silicone oil on the first patch and run additional patches till its clean.

Keep in mind that there is no combustion residue in an air rifle so strong solvents are not needed. Its just lead rubed off the pellets. Ballistol works good and is great for wiping down the whole gun. Quite offten a couple of dry patches are all it will take. I use the KryTech wax lube that comes with the the Crown Saver if you get the kit. It puts a non stick coating in the barrel so lead won't accumulate as fast. And the Smooth Twist barrels are less prone to lead build up anyway. Generally you only need to clean the barrel when you notice accuracy starting to decline. Some guns can go quite a long time between cleanings. High velocity rubs more lead off than lower velocity guns also.
