These pellets are meant to be used regularly, and some people use them every time they shoot their guns. Unless you’re confident enough to remove your barrel for cleaning, this restricts the use of the BoreSnake to just break-barrel airguns. Some guns, like the Zbroia Kozak, feature a shroud that does not offer direct access to the barrel itself. Pellets of various calibers are available in flat-nose, round-nose, pointed, and hollow-point configurations.

I received the package on time and on inspection I found it to be exactly as described, it was a second hand gun and exceeded my expectations. Just make sure the straw is long enough so it doesn’t slide inside the shroud, never to be heard of again. Another of the more important elements of air gun care is having the right cleaning pellets on hand.

A: The kind of cleaning kit you’ll need for your air rifle will depend on the calibre of your airgun. But more worryingly it means pushing a solid brass object past the crown the wrong way down the barrel – all without the help of a bore guide. As an air rifle owner, you know that accuracy and consistency are key to a great shooting experience. You may want to add a little grease to the rear of your bolt or the hinge mechanism on your sidelever.

One huge advantage of the pull-through is the fact that, just like with felt cleaning pellets, you are cleaning in the same direction that the pellet travels, depositing any muck and detritus out at the muzzle end rather than the breech. Pull-through: This pull-through from Napier has been given a bore-friendly coating that won’t harm the rifling. From a recognised air-rifle kit brand like Napier of London, you can be sure of only the highest quality. A: The best way to clean your air rifle barrel is to use a bore brush that’s the same size as the calibre of your airgun. If your rifle is destined to be shot rather than put into storage, finish off the pull-through process with a couple of dry patches, as you want your pellets to re-lead the barrel with a clean, dry bore.

Many pull-throughs feature a coated brass shank, which shouldn’t be stabbed against the crown as it could potentially do some damage.
