Cleaning twist barrels
I just bought my first hammer gun. Its a 10ga with twist barrels.
I was wondering if there's anything I can personally do to at least help bring out some of the twist pattern in the barrels? Refinishing the barrels is not practical on this gun. I do have some Frontier pads that I just bought to try on the inside of the barrels just to clean them up. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |
frontier pads
solvent elbow grease elbow grease elbow grease |
Any particular solvent? I see people mention Ballistol, Hoppes #9, G96.
|
i use hoppes
but any should work, i have a stubborn set that are taking a lot of scrubbing - i may try ballistol to if it makes any difference |
Any hints on doing the inside of the barrels as well? I assume just wrap a bit of a Frontier pad over a brush, add some solvent and use a cordless drill etc.?

you have the clean up down pat....charlie

i have an old aluminum cleaning rod i chuck in the drill, filing a couple flats on the end helps the chuck grip it |
I have used scotchbrite red pad and karosene and the drill on newer bbl's with great results
|
I personnally have used Turtle Wax Chrome polish and a terry towel with satisfactory results for cleaninging up the exterior of Damascus barrels.

All those guys wearing feldgrau in WWI and WWII couldn't all be wrong. Ballistol ist wunderbar!
