Cleaning PCP's

[TCups]

What is the appropriate way to clean the barrel of a PCP after it has had about 2000 rounds and is beginning to get some shot-to-shot variability in the POI?

T, all I ever did was use some 50 or 100# fishing line with a slip knot to pull some patches through it. The first few with Beeman cleaner, then some dry ones until they looked good.

Back in the day I would always lube my pellets with a drop or two of beeman chamber lube. Roll them around in it until they were coated. Don't know if it helped but most everybody was doing it back then.

I like the fishing line thing because there is no way to scratch the barrel.

I've been cleaning the barrels of my Air Force Talon and Condor the same way I clean my springers,,,, with the weed whacker line, patches and just a bit of Goo-gone.   It's been working very well.

I just use cleaning pellets. I just soak a drop of oil on them and shoot them out. Then I usually follow with a dry one. They are easy to use and if your real cheap you can try to find them after you shoot them and re use them : ) I have to use them in my Logun MKII because of the design of the sliding breech and in-line magazine. I could remove the barrel and clean it, but I won't do that unless absolutely necessary. Not as effective at cleaning as a patch on a rod or flexible line, but they're better than nothing.

It's all shiny clean now.  I was intent on shooting a 150 on the PCP Steroid match but I kept getting a little shift in the POI -- pesky 9's.  There was a bit of wind, too.  I will try again the weekend to see if I can do better.

Shhhh!!!!   Trying to keep it a secret, but "someone" may have sold one of their really nice Air Arms PCP's and bought themselves a really nice springer.  I wont say who it was because I, I mean "they" are very proud of their PCP's.  Brown Santa's website shows a box in route to Texas, and I think it may just have an HW97 MKIII inside it.  Should look nice next to my, I mean "their" custom AA S200.  Ok, I admit it, it's me, I've gone to the "springier" side of airguns again. :) :) :) :) :)
