Best info ever on cleaning air gun barrels most people worry about air gun barrels way too much

I agree 100% with your suggestions in this video. I rarely ever clean my airgun barrels. The outside is a different story. Oils from hands can damage the bluing, finishes, etc, so I do wipe down the barrels with household oil after every use and put the rifles away without touching the barrels again. I also wipe down the stock to remove oils and sweat that may have been transferred. Another recommendation, I always remove any rings I'm wearing so as not to scratch the barrels (especially springers). Yes, this includes my wedding band (but only while shooting!! GREAT video, thanks for the information.

I use a piece of grass trimmer string and a small patch with a little Hoppe's solvent, followed by a patch with a little Remoil on it, about every 500 pellets or so. Has worked for me for years and no damage to the bore.

It is a good idea to do a once-through with a patch or two when you get a new gun, especially if it's one of those off-the-shelf kind you find at Wal*Mart. Sometimes, manufacturers put a thick oily coating in the barrel to protect it from corrosion during transport. This is especially true with guns being shipped overseas. Almost every Chinese-manufactured gun I've seen has this dark colored gunk inside of it. You can smell it if you fire a round through and, in the case of break barrels, actually see it atomized and suspended in gases and water vapor. Firing a bunch of alloy pellets through the barrel will eventually clean most of it out, but running a few patches and a small amount of solvent will give you a good head start.

Is it common for the first shot from a new air gun to blow smoke out and sound like a 22 long?
@misterkaos.357
Жыл бұрын
@@JFEnterprize Only an actual firearm will produce smoke of any kind. If your airgun doesn't have a suppressor, it will definitely make a loud bang, especially if it is a high velocity gun. Airguns only produce water vapor from rapid air decompression. For more details, see the above.

@@misterkaos.357 I figured maybe it was the storage oil from the factory. It def was a smoke. We had a pellet in the barrel. Only the very first shot in a crosman quest 1000fps .177 air rifle. I need to get another nice one. Any recommendations? Thinking pcp but break barrels seem a bit cheaper to run without the tanks ect. Plus I imagine maintenance of the gas systems years down the line.

@@JFEnterprizeOne thing to keep in mind, is that break barrel guns tend to be less accurate than the other types. Another thing to keep in mind is that most airguns that have the FPS on the package tend to be marketed to casual users who don't understand how velocity affects the projectile. Your typical .177 pellet isn't really designed for transonic or supersonic speeds. They are generally more accurate at subsonic speed. If you want an airgun that can really handle supersonic rounds, it will be more expensive and you'll be using conical slugs as ammo instead of traditional pellets.

I would avoid using any rod to clean an airgun barrel. Typically airgun barrels are softer and something like a rod can, and will damage the rifling... Use a string pull through method and thats only if accuracy isn't what it used to be

Well explained. High level competition shooters often never clean the barrel if rifle is used frequently. Very shiny barrels only need some shooting to get them back in shape, adding oil will make rifle less precise until pellets push it out. Don't clean the barrel...

Nice format, style and flow in your presentation. It was straight forward and I learned some new things I can share with others, like the chemistry of pellets and oxidation....."in order to become a positive person, you must lose negative thoughts, oxidation is the chemical loss of negatively changed electrons" thus iron metal losses electrons 1 Fe(s) -----> 1 Fe3+ with three negatively electons (3-) lost, THUS corrosion of iron metal to iron (III) oxide or RUST..... ..... Wow wax and graphite as protective coating on my pellets to prevent my lead, Pb metal from oxidizing, never knew that, THANKS, job well done!

If you're using a Magnum air rifle (a scoped one I mean) then the constant jarring of the scope by the heavy recoil can cause scope damage and ruin your zero. This also sometimes happens if you have exposed turrets and you use a cheap case, where picking up and moving the case can move your turrets. Alternately, make sure you consistently use 1 kind of pellet, because not all pellets are as accurate as each other. It is also important to note that resting a gun on it's barrel when you shoot will change where the pellet lands VS. resting it on it's stock. If you're shooting a red Ryder or something then I don't know what to tell you.

Unless your rifle is malfunctioning or has real dirt,mud and grime from the outdoors in it there is no reason to clean an air rifle barrel. Simply the act of firing the rifle will push any particles out. So many people run a patch though the barrel (especially when they first buy it and see a dark gray stained patch come out and assume it must be dirty... No thats graphite, graphite has been used as a lubricant for decades and will do no harm to your rifle. Good rule of thumb, only clean your barrel after you have exhausted every other troubleshooting steps.

Silky Tp clean your pellets, not your barrel unless your accuracy goes to crap. Use a string and cloth to clean it though to reduce the risk of damaging your barrel. Clean your new pellets in hot soapy water twice using a sieve/strainer between washes. Towel dry after. Use a hair dryer to make sure they're dry! Especially up the skirts as that's where water will linger. Then use a good pellet lube. Preferably a pump. Two pumps is more than enough to coat a tin of 200 pellets. Less is better. They only need a very light coat. Biggest tip is, don't go cheap with your pellets. You'll be amazed at the difference in accuracy. Plenty of good pellet cleaning videos on youtube.
