Will this work alone or should I buy something like Hoppe's rifle cleaning kit for cleaning out the actual barrel? Or would cleaning pellets work?

Depending on what caliber air rifle that you have,For example,If you have a .22 Cal. air rifle you can use some patches with The RMCOIL only to get a clean barrel and a standard .22 cal cleaning rod.Air gun manufacturers Do NOT reccomend any solvents.If you have a .17 cal. air rifle,You will need a cleaning rod for a .17 Cal.a .22 will not fit inside of the barrel,Oil up a patch and send it through a couple of times,then a few dry until clean,A clean barrel will make that rifle of yours more accurate! Thanks for your question,Hope I helped.

The pellet lube is best for seals and gaskets, ...general lube. If you want to run a cleaner down the barrel a good solvent will scrub the lead from the grooves, but oil afterwards and then run a dry patch. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Day!

None of the above. 98% of all the experts say that you should never have to clean the barrel of a pellet rifle. I bought the oil because I have a nitro piston and regular pell gun oil isn't supposed to be used in it.

Be careful. Some expecially with any regular gun solvents.Best to check with Crosman.

From what I have gathered for information regarding the use of lubricants in break barrel rifles, care must be taken when utilizing lubricants in the air chamber (this is where the compressed air is generated and stored until the rifle is shot) and in the area of the breech where the projectile is is placed in the weapon and discharged (shot). From the name listed by this manufacturer "RMCOIL Silicone Chamber oil" this lubricant is used sparingly in the gun's Spring Air Chamber (one or two drops every 500 shots or so). Some "Chamber Oil" manufacturer's supply a special long tube applicator where you would place this applicator down into the spring chamber area and place the two drops directly into the "Air Chamber." As far as utilizing Hoppe's Gun cleaning solution to clean your barrel, this is not recommended by some manufacturer's. By using this cleaning solution you could cause "dieseling" to occur in the pellet chamber and barrel, as the solution residue left after cleaning the barrel, can and will ignite (think small explosion) due to the instantaneous high pressures and temperatures during discharge of the compressed air from the gun's "air chamber." This dieseling should only occur for a short time after you clean your weapon, as the oil residue is burned off. But the dieseling is really a small explosion inside the barrel during it's firing. It may not cause any damage to you or your weapon, but to be safe the manufacturer's certainly do not recommend it. As far as normal lubrication of your weapon (read other than inside the chamber/barrel), you can safely use any lubricating oil that is made for and used for this type of service to protect and lubricate all other weaponry.

As others have said this kit does not contain a bore snake. Still there are plenty of brushes and extensions to handle anything from .223 to 12 ga. I have cleaned a .45 acp handgun and a .330 win mag rifle in the same sitting with it. The only thing you will need to purchase are additional patches as they run out real quick.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

For a pistol I would use The Winchester Universal compact cleaning kit. It has everything in this portable kit to clean any size caliber for handguns. Also inexpensive.

I trust you have read my review on this product, a no star air rifle. So how would I clean it? I think I would seriously take in the shower and soap it down as it is a useless piece of you know what !!

Ronald, this is a nice kit that will clean any gun from 22 to 45 caliber! It also includes a brass brush for 12 gauge cleaning as well. So far, I am happy with it. You will however want to buy additional cleaner, gun oil, and patches sometime down the road... good luck!

I take it all apart and run a rifle cleaning rod with pad through the tubes. I bought one just for the milker.

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.

It should work for you. This kit has no problem cleaning a 24" M1 rifle barrel or a 30" Mossberg shotgun barrel. No piecing together of the flex cables is necessary.

I run a couple swabs of M-Pro 7 gun cleaner down the barrel first. Next I run the copper remover down the barrel as instructed. It works wonders.

A gun oil will work fine for cleaning that gun. This oil is for the chamber only, in the hole leading to the barrel as you never want to get a petroleum based oil in there.

,absolutely it'll clean all of that out all that black powder residue 1 of the best cleaners around that being said please note that I said cleaner that means inside the boar if the gun is blued keep it off the blueing long-term exposure to this could possibly cause pitting while cleaning the boar I would invert your rifle or whatever it is you're cleaning so that any excess solvent runs out to the cardboard or whatever you have it sitting on August we put something underneath the weapon tonight just let it rest on your floor as a solvent will probably eat through the linoleum or whatever you have for flooring it will eat through just about anything if its exposed long enough well I hope this helped you happy shooting

I bought it to use on my browning pellet gun. It works great on it. Have not had any trouble with it and it fits tightly with out any slippage on the barrel. Just make sure and get the right size to fit your barrel.

Read the product description for Hoppe's Universal Gun Cleaning to the left. If the Ar15 is a 5.56mm, doesn't look like it will work, but it does work for 7,9 and 10mm, maybe one of the bore brushes will fit?

Thanks for the answer. I will be picking up a couple of them. I bought a Remington one at Dicks and when I pulled it out of the wall a door opened and half the pellets went all over the floor. I will have to try this. Thanks again.

Otis makes a very nice cleaning kit. They come and a nylon pouch about the size of a softball. There are a lot of cleaning kits on amazon that will handle handgun and rifle calibres. It is most likely that the two or more weapons you husband has are not the same calibre. So you would want to get one that will clean more than one weapon. Winchester make a real nice cleaning kit but i don't know if it is sold here on Amazon. Go to the search bar and type in gun cleaning kits. Hope this helps.
