Cleaning my guns

bd,

On page 9, General Discussion, AirborneB started a thread, "New Rifle Break In." Included, you'll find a link to the AEAC Gun Cleaning video which features a popular AGN member method utilizing Ballistol and PatchWorm. Enjoy the read, hope it helps, WM

bd,

Yep, that's it. I can't do links but recalled AirborneB's thread. Was in your shoes a year ago, watched this member-recommended video, ordered Ballistol, PatchWorm, patches and cleaning pellets. I don't do the cleaning pellet part of the video any longer, but the rest is still good. I made a "weed-eater" line pull for my .177, so my cleaning kit is complete. Good Luck, WM

bd,

You're welcome, I consider it returning the favor of a kind member who helped me. I'm sure you'll do the same, some day. Best to You, WM

bd,

Sounds good, not complicated, but I watched the video one more time, after my Ballistol and PatchWorm arrived, as a refresher. Good news is air guns don't need cleaning as frequently as powder burners. After a good initial cleaning I leave mine alone unless accuracy starts to suffer. This cleaning system is very popular in the Nation so you'll feel right at home using it. WM

I like Hoppes #7 best, Balistol didn't clean as well as I liked. it also beaded up in the barrel after I ran a wet storage patch through. I won't use it anymore except a quick wipe if I'm at the range. Just my experience and what I now do. Patchworm is great for a quick clean, but buy yourself a real cleaning kit, one that goes down to 17 and up through 12 gauge.
