Can you use a patchworm on a Daystate barrel like on the Redwolf or Delta wolf or will it pull the oring out of the groove in the breech?

I use a patchworm on my Red Wolf, no problems. Just be sure the patch is aligned straight with the breech when you start it. Obviously, the only way to be sure of no damage is to remove the O ring, which is very easy on the Red Wolf, if you prefer.

Wanted to run a few patches thru a Alpha wolf and was wondering if the oring needs to be taken out or if the patchwork will go thru it ok. Just received to gun back from being repaired .

If not taken the barrel out of the breechblock and one want to clean the barrel without pushing residues into the tranferport a boresnake is most likely be the best option.

Any kind of abrasive media will wear the o-ring. Isn't the inside diameter of a breach o-ring also smaller than bore diameter. Could the media also build in the ring groves?

What he said….
I clean my Safari .22 HP after every 100-125 pellets with patchworm. I found it gets 2 or 3 patches with led sediments with this shot frequency interval. Max 5/6 patches before clean.
But, a couple of times I was moving too fast and did not have the .22 button lined up exactly on the chamber. Any angle but straight is not good.
Patch was left at Breech and the pull thru was very hard to come out of the muzzle.
Simple to resolve, just make sure the button is aligned straight.

The oring is easy to take out, with the right tool, but a pain to put back in, on a 177 & 22 I use the worm patch to put the oring back in, all I do is put the worm patch in the pellet end when push the oring in and slowly pull the worm patch out I have done this with the barrel & scope on the gun
