In the video why does he use a clearly dirty patch while claiming it's can be used up to 6 times? Shouldn't the bore brush be the 1st step?

I always run a solvent patch through the barrel prior to the brush. After allowing the solvent to work for a few minutes I run the brush through the damp/wet barrel. My theory is that the solvent helps loosen any residue in the barrel and the brush removes the remainder. Follow that with a clean patch until solvent is removed. Lastly chase a lightly oiled patch through the barrel for protection. May not be the best method but has worked well for me.

You want cleaner to break up residue in the barrel before using the bore brush. That is why you use the a patch with cleaning solution first. You can use the patch 6 times. Each side of the patch has 3 separate locations where you can insert the bore snake, if done properly it can be used 6 times.

That is correct Mike. This is a cleaner and lube in one. It won't leave excess residue either. Works great.

Hi A. There are no instructions with this Hoppe's Cleaning Kit, but it is pretty easy. If possible, push the brush from the breech end to the muzzle end (most handguns don't make this possible; so you have to push from the muzzle end) until there is nothing sticking to the bore area of the barrel. Next wet a lint-free patch with solvent and push it thru the barrel until it is clean. Next wet a lint-free patch with oil and push it thru the barrel so that it coats the entire bore area of the barrel. Next wipe down all metal gun parts with a lint-free rag and some oil. The best thing to do is talk with the guys at your range --- they will be very happy to show and tell you all about your gun. Hi A.

9-10 times i would use patches for cleaning and lubing, as the cotton swab would get dirty quick. if i was going to use it i would use it to lube the bore after its been nice and clean.

The initial loud reports are due to dieseling of the manufacturing oil in the barrel. It will burn our after a couple dozen shots. However, it is better to clean the barrel thoroughly before firing. Mine was quiet from the first shot and has been extremely accurate. I have killed over 50 squirrels in 2 months in my backyard. I would have more, but for some reason they seem to have stopped coming around. I found an easy technique for cleaning the barrel online. It uses cotton wads and fishing line.

it seems very mild , I still use a solvent to clean the bore . I mainly use the m-pro for carbon and ''coating'' the gun when I want to store it awhile . I usually wipe the gun down with a very small amount of oil and briefly clean the bore before using again . With all the gun finishes and ornamentation , I don't want to leave them sit with a harsh cleaner on them . M-pro is non toxic and little smell , good for in house use

That is used to clean the barrel of the gun, when paintballs explode in the gun. It's just a quick fix and you should properly clean your gun whenever you get the chance to. Hope that helped.

The "junk" falls to the bottom of the tank. I suppose if records were exceptionally dirty, a two step process might be worthwhile. My old records were playable with just minor film and dust spots, so a single pass is fine for about 20 or so, then a very small amount of stuff is visible at the bottom of the tank and I change the fluid. You only use a couple of caps full for each load. I haven't even used up the small bottle of concentrate that comes with the kit.The real work is drying the records. Get a supply of lint-free cloths.

If the bbs impact over soft material, you can pick up and be reused. When hit over hard materials it break or crack, then when you reuse it clog the barrel

You should clean the rifle after 200 shots because the pellets do not leave residue in barrel that much...look on you tube for cleaning pointers. ....

Two thoughts on this. First, having a perfect crown at the muzzle is a must for accuracy. For this reason, the rule of thumb is always clean chamber to muzzle to lessen the chance of damaging the crown. The other thought, with this bit in particular, is it will act like a squeegee, pulling (or pushing) the carbon, solvent, and crud in front of it. Because it fits the bore, and is non absorbent, all of that crud would end up in the chamber, as it's larger than the bore.

Yes, it has some basic information and instructions. You can also find information on the web a number of places. Basically you run a wet patch (with solvent/bore cleaner) thru the bore and wait 5 minutes. Then put the bush thru a couple of times. Follow with wet patch and then several dry patches. When dry patch comes out reasonable clean, then you are ready to run thru a patch with oil. That's it.

Sorry but I don't have a video. I followed the owner's manual and had no problem. Following the step by step instructions allowed me to successfully complete my 1st project. If you follow the instructions and you still can't get it to spray, check the troubleshooting section for resolution.

Yes, has two as I recall, metal brushes on the part you pull through to clean the bore........ I think it works good, I like these Bore Snakes better then the old Rod Style cleaning system

Yes, it cleans and lubricate. If bore really dirty, better to use solvent or bore cleaner.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off.Keep them all in the X ring.Semper FiMolon LabeCHS USMCL

Keeping the barrel clean is the important thing... Even at the range you should pass a couple of patches through it and after using your gun give it a good barrel cleaning... a neglected and pitted barrel is the end of that gun.. These patches are a great part of the cleaning sequence that needs to be maintained. Guns are like your teeth: Neglect them and they'll soon be useless.
