When you are going for just a light cleaning you don’t necessarily need rods. The best option people have found is some .080 weed trimmer line. Cut the end at an angle you can stab through a cloth. It really does work wonders. The solution to your reduced accuracy is to shoot your gun more. It can take as many as 200 shots, though that’s on the extreme edge. Just know this is common, and you don’t have to worry. Final Words DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT – We will reiterate though, if this is not something you are comfortable with doing, DO NOT attempt it. The last thing you want to do is destroy the mechanism in the process! Some guns, like the Zbroia Kozak, feature a shroud that does not offer direct access to the barrel itself. Most shrouds extend beyond the actual length of the barrel. Trying to feed the pull-through down the shroud and in through the muzzle will usually result in the loop that holds the cleaning patches just folding up on itself. Repeatedly plugging away, hoping the pull-through will eventually find the bore, isn’t a great idea either. Many pull-throughs feature a coated brass shank, which shouldn’t be stabbed against the crown as it could potentially do some damage. Instead, use a drinking straw to present the pull-through centrally to the bore. Just make sure the straw is long enough so it doesn’t slide inside the shroud, never to be heard of again. Don’t ask how I know this. Yes. 100% Yes. There is a discussion about brass vs. steel barrels indicating the need for cleaning a brand new brass barrel is less necessary. Brass barrels are of higher quality and less likely to rust than steel. This means preservatives that are on steel don’t exist on Brass.

If you’ve read my article about dieseling you’ll know you shouldn’t do it intentionally, but that many springers will still diesel. Particularly if you were over-zealous in your oiling. This heavy dieseling will result in burned up oil being tossed down the barrel. Over time a problem will develop. There are reasons for this but just think of it this way. The pellet travels down the barrel in a particular direction, and so should your cleaning supplies. It’s better for the barrel and avoids damage. No Solvent Required Some people will tell you to only use a nylon brush. I think that’s a bit overly cautious. Sometimes you will need a brass or bronze brush to get a really good clean. An argument for using Nylon is that over time even a soft metal like brass can wear away at your steel barrel.It’s best to carry out the barrel-cleaning process in a clean area. Some of the products being used can irritate skin and eyes, and we are also dealing with the removal of lead, a poisonous metal. Latex gloves will offer the best protection, although I just prefer to wash my hands thoroughly once I’ve finished. A: No, you should not use WD-40 to clean your air rifle. While WD-40 is great for cleaning other things, it’s not designed for cleaning firearms and can actually damage the seals on your air rifle. Q: How do I clean my air rifle scope? Often people forget about the crown of their airgun too. Make sure not to damage it. There are test results that say it’s not as serious an issue as some people will tell you, but when it is a problem it’s an expensive one to fix. Use a Brass, Bronze or Nylon Brush APPLY PROTECTIVE SPRAYS – Should you wish to ensure your airgun maintains its new look, you can also make use of either a rust protection spray or silicon gun oil – both of which will protect your barrel against rust and wear, maintaining a brand-new look in the process. While airgun barrels do get dirty, they don’t need as much cleaning as a real firearm. The main issue that you find with airgun barrels is that they amass a build up of oil or deposits of metal from firing pellets. Generally, when cleaning the internal barrel, two rules apply –

Have you tried pulling a cloth through your barrel with a muzzle brake or suppressor on it? It’s not easy. Sometimes you can’t take them off though. That’s where a basic straw comes in. Insert it into the brake or suppressor and you’ve created a sleeve for your cloth to pull through. A: How often you should clean your air rifle will depend on how often you use it. If you never use it, you won’t have any real need to clean it (provided that it’s stored correctly). A well-made air rifle won’t need to be cleaned each time it’s used, and if anything, cleaning too often can actually risk damaging the barrel. All of that is to say that you only need to clean your air rifle if you notice a decline in accuracy, or if you want to experiment with a new kind of pellet. Even then, many people recommend never cleaning an air rifle at all. Q: What kind of cleaning kit do I need for my air rifle? What happened? Should I ask when was the last time you cleaned your barrel? Do you have to clean your air rifle barrel constantly? No. But there are times you should, and if you don’t do it right you could miss that crucial shot you’ve taken the time to prepare. Let’s make sure to set ourselves up for success every time.
