Newbie Question: How to do Bore Cleaning on a Whisper?

(1/2) > >>

SpringStan:
Neat Resource This!

I picked up a Whisper DX this week at Gander Mountain in Wichita and after reading about plastic triggers (I always do things backwards) took it back to exchange for another with a metal trigger. I looked through several boxes to find the only one left. Whew!

Anyhow, the bore is filthy but it still groups with my (newly developing) artillery hold. *Sorta* groups that is. I messed with some .095 monofilament string trimmer string as a "cleaning rod" and the pointed end will NOT(!) go through the supressor/muzzle break.

What do you guys do for bore maintenance, that own this gun?


THANKS!

hey there you can use a drinking straw one of thoughts thick ones push it through to the barrel and then just use the cleaning rod as usual i have a whisper in 177 cal works for me hope this helps 

SpringStan:
Drinking Straw....  Hey! 

THAT might keep the point of my .095 monofiliment from curling around and catching on the baffles.

Hmmmm...I wonder if it will it go in all the way to the crown...

Gonna try that right now.

Thanks!
Stan

The straw method is the best way to run a swab through the barrel with a weed eater line.
NOTE:
I had a client that had tried to shoot RWS cleaning wads to clean his barrel. They got hung up in the baffles which pretty much ruined any future accuracy.:) Never shoot those cleaning wads through the barrel of a Whisper..

cactusrat:
I’ve been fighting with baffles for the longest time. I was getting ready to cut them off with a hack saw and then worry about accuracy latter…. LOL  ;D

I’ll give the straw thingy a try.

Now, how many soda straws will the little girl at the corner store let me have with one drink?

But missy, wait until you get to be my age and see how hard it is to not so good threw one of those little straws. ::)
