what will happen to the barrel if i use a too tight of brush thru it?

nothing, as long as you are not jamming way to hard. It should be a tight fit but not hammer it in fit.

The brush is made of brass which is much softer metal than what your barrel is made of. It shouldn't harm it but it's not going to do it any good if you have to force it in. I would try to match the diameter of the brush with barrel as much as possible. It only needs to contact the inside of the barrel and clean the rifling grooves. The brush should be just slightly larger than the barrel bore so it does exert some pressure against it when cleaning.

If you been shooting a lot of lead pellets from it or copper bb's you may want to clean the barrel first, just like any rifle or pistol. The lead or copper build up will cause inaccuracy after a while of shooting. I shot these out of my Crossman Pump master 760, and they did very well. Remember to use proper safety equipment, and always exercise proper gun safety rules before, during, after shooting!

I have not used it enough to see this happen, but I would imagine that it would not be good for them in the long run. I know you are not supposed to leave it in the barrel for an extended period because it will damage the steel. I can't imagine that a brass/copper brush would last long if not washed after use.

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

No! Cuz like vader1971 said it will scratch the barrel I've seen people do this yes it looks cool but don't recommend it.

No way that should be happening. You have a defective brush. Report it and Amazon will send you another brush.

I think it would be too wimpy just bcs of the diameter of the barrel. It gets plenty hot! If your hair is ok with a 1/2", then it'll do fine! I discovered something quite by accident. After this on/off gave up the ghost, I somehow shook it and it came on! This has worked well ever sinse. Give it a shake like you're shaking down a thermometer. mb

I use a comb to scrape out the trapped hair, then dampen a washcloth with my general cleaning solution (I mix 1/3 ammonia with 2/3 water and 1 drop of dish detergent or shampoo) which is like Windex, then wipe the barrel with the washcloth. Have to repeat a couple times with a new area of the dampened washcloth, but it comes off for me.

I find that putting the brush in handle fist that the brush slides right in. Also with the brittles wet when I place it in the case it slides right back out the next morning with no damage to my boar bristle brush.

yes I believe you have about a 28 and 3/4 inch barrel. this should clean it easily

The handle is not fixed it is threaded to the rod but you can turn the bore brush in one direction, it is also very long so if you push it thru the barrel you are able to turn it and it will be different when you bring it back thru. The rods also have one that will spin you can use it or leave it off. Without the rod that will spin the system extend up to 28" with out tips. The additional rod make it 4" longer.

Oh you're most definitely going to clamp the barrel. This should most definitely be done by a gunsmith. If this is not threaded perfectly the bullet could catch the edge and completely destroy the entire barrel.

I am not real sure but it looks like the very end screws out maybe, bringing the barrel out with it maybe, or will loosen up and come apart. it seems like only way unless it all pressed together. take a piece of leather and pliers an gently try to unscrew the end???? search ebay for my herb's paranoia pin

Not to worry...any excess will come out the top causing no harm. The barrel will be filled. You could connect to a second barrel.

That, because of the diameter of the barrel, would be a stretch. You may want to check the manufacturers website to see if a larger size is available. Good luck

The bristles are short and hard. They are not long and soft and pliable like on a hair brush. They are more like the teeth on a comb, but shorter. A whole row of bristles can come out. It's no big deal. You just turn the barrel until you find the slot that the row fits in and slide it back in.

No, it would be a good idea to make emptying the barrel and up ending it a yearly maintenance item. I use my power washer to dislodge debris, with the barrel lying on the flat side, get it as clean as you can, then roll it so the overflow is down and flush.
