So now I am an ex tractor fa...

Re: Beeman Peep sight..
I may be sticking my neck out here :doh: but I suppose it does depend on the length of your neck amongst other things. What suits one person may not suit another. I dont find any problem is using my HW77 fitted with a Williams sports peep sight but then I dont use it for 10m paper punching just info...

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
Thank you for clarifying that.
Now, does anyone know for certain that stainless steel barrels need more cleaning than normal steel?

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
The 'Chanel No5' in the gun room for me isnt a solvent or an oil - but methylated spirits (used in de-greasing before blueing etc.) . :drool: Aaaaaahhhhh, I just love the smell. A quick wipe over for the gun and a quick swig out of the bottle for me! :dance: [ Children please note : My above comment...

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
I have heard that Balistol is fish oil based - that maybe explain why Im constantly followed by cats when I walk down the road.

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
If coffee and two sugars doesn't move it try Balistol. Balistol is good but the smell is an, err ..... an acquired taste.

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
In the case of Webley pistols - I find coffee with two sugars does the job and cant ruin accuracy even if it rots the rifling.

I to doubt that fired felts have the same effect as careful cleaning with a rod.Adam77K wrote: I doubt a fired felt will shift much in the rifling grooves.
I stand corrected about the material in a Styer barrel but still maintain careful cleaning is a benefit to accuracy.

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
Thank you for the above Robin. Totally agree with you on the solvent and firearms being a different kettle of fish :clap: but I wonder what the results would have been like using a Steyr rifle or pistol which has the chrome bore? :think: As I think we all know - a part of your shooting 'equipment' i...

Re: Barrel Cleaning by Graham Freeman
Personally, I only clean the barrels of my Steyr pistols as I find this improves accuracy. Or is it just in the mind? :think: Whatever. I feel they benefit from a light cleaning after every couple of hundred shots. By light I mean a VFG cleaning felt on a rod done very carefully near the muzzle. The...
