Cleaning Rod

Can not believe there are two pages discussing how to clean a metal tube.

Clean crap out put back in gun go play simples...

 
I did get a .22 cleaning rod and a patch attatchment, never use it though as it has a habit of leaving patches in the barrel.

It was a fun conversation trying to explain what i wanted in the shop

"Just think of it like a .22 muzzle loader"

"No i dont want a wire brush"

"Yes i know a wire brush has been used for hundreds of years to clean a gun barrel but this barrel is made of brass"

Never again...

 
:D . Still learning.  Yesterday I didin't even know you had to clean the barrel

'Clean crap out put back' is how people end up dumping a bottle of silicone down the barrel followed up by a wire brush.

Many don't bother for a long time. Frankly you can get away with it until you get a jam or notice fliers/general inaccuracy. Problem is that by the time you realise that it's usually too late to do anything about unless you feel like disassembling a gun in the safe zone.

Certainly pistols tend to get overcleaned by some. They're barely shot and don't get anywhere near dirt so ye.

That is because people in general are morons and if they do this it is on them for being stupid. 

You can't teach evolution.

Edit: Before someone comments yes you can teach about how evolution occurs but not teach someone to actually evolve. Just clarifying because "airsofters"

Well if that were the case you'd have nobody to shoot.

 
Well after reading all of this I thought to my self “ when did I last clean one of my guns inner barrels ?”

and after some hard thinking (I have just got in from a honkingly bad shift in A&E so it took a while)  , I came too the conclusion “ nope don’t think I ever have !”

Who’d a funk !  :blink:

Are airsoft cleaning/unjamming rods made of metal or polymer?

Forgive me if this seems a stupid question but I've never actually seen one except on video.

I know they are very bendy.
