An argument for using Nylon is that over time even a soft metal like brass can wear away at your steel barrel.

Because of that, I recommend not using a solvent to clean your air rifle most of the time. Some solvents will damage your seals and you’ll have a completely different problem later on. Most of the time solvents are completely unnecessary. There are times you might need them though. It is completely unnecessary. Airguns don’t leave the same residue that firearms do inside their barrels. On top of that when a pellet is fired it ends up clearing other debris most of the time. Some people even say Olympians often don’t clean their barrels. I haven’t spoken to one so I don’t know for sure. Reasons For Cleaning Your Barrels Regularly shots is a number you’ll see thrown around a lot if you look into airgun maintenance. Do I think it’s a holy number that you must heed at all times? Definitely not. It’s an easy number to remember, and it’s significant enough to avoid over-cleaning.

Remember airgun barrels are soft steel or brass. They are soft metal and will scratch and damage easily. Always be careful when cleaning them. Particularly when you are using rods or brushes. A common mistake is people focus on what the end of the rod is doing and let the near side scrape on the side of the barrel. It will build to a certain point, but pellets will clear out excess.

The same goes for scopes, which is a totally different topic we’ve discussed here on Airgun Planet.

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. Probably not. At least not if you followed my tips. This is actually a really common phenomenon. When you fire your gun and it builds up the Lead we talked about earlier there is an equilibrium that is reached where you hit an optimum level of accuracy. This is a tip I found on the net that I haven’t tried but should work really well. Just spritz a little WD-40 on your cleaning cloth and pull it through like normal. It will grab that lead right out.

Remember most of us aren’t Olympians. Our airguns are different, our daily routines are different and the way our air rifles are used is different. Comparing to an Olympian is a flawed argument.

DO NOT try to shoot out an obstruction in your barrel. Seriously, just don’t. It sounds silly to state, but people will try, and I don’t want you to be one of those people. It will cause lasting problems and is dangerous. Instead get out your trusty cleaning rod and push the obstruction out. As always push breech to bore. It’s easy to think about cleaning your air rifle during the times you are using it, but if you are going to be putting it away for awhile a little extra oil is great for protection. A LITTLE! The point is just to add an extra coat of protection. If you’ve read my article about dieseling you’ll know you shouldn’t do it intentionally, but that many springers will still diesel.

It’s better for the barrel and avoids damage. No Solvent Required
