Bore guide for FX barrel

[DaveT1]

I'm interested in find a bore guide to be used when polishing the barrel. Does anyone know of a bore guide that would work for .22 cal. FX barrel?

Yes, take the barrel off.

Barrel off, liner out, fix liner to vice with rubber chuck pads or a like and polish the heck out of it.

do barrels foul with lead and what type of lube do you use? and is there a certain count of shots before having to clean, will accuracy fall off after x amount of shots, or do you just shoot until the barrel says clean me, I clean after 30 to 50 shots on my centerfire rifles,

 

[Loff]

It depends. How soft is the lead that pellets/slugs are made of. How smooth is guns barrel inside. Etc, etc.
One pro of polishing barrel is that You do not have to clean guns barrel so often. And cleaning is easier, needs less pull-through.
I do not use extra lube, don't clean or re-lube my ammo. Jus like they come out of tin.
Accuracy falls off if barrel is too fouled.
For me it is about 1000 pellets/slugs for FX Dreamline in .177. Polished liner.

does the crown say being out of spec, dinged, burrs etc have an effect on accuracy same as a centerfire

Yes it does! No difference there between airgun and powder burner.

I use JB bore polish and then JB bore Brite. I have gone as many as 8000 before cleaning, then get it leaded back in 45-50 shots and it shoots just like it did before cleaning. I do lube pellets
