Tuning Crosman CO2 2400kt barrel cleaning recommendation

[Crosfire]

Want to clean the barrel. For PCPs, I follow Will Platt's recommendation of 50:50 mix of Kano Kroil and Shooters Choice Bore Cleaner, followed by dry patches. Can I use the same products for a CO2 barrel? OBTW, I pull patches with the barrel installed, using a JL Crown Saver.

Thanks in advance,

Crosfire

i wouldnt put anything in an airgun barrel other than silicone oil and dry patches .. a pellet barrel really doesnt get fouled to the point it needs to be chemically cleaned, at least ive never seen it .. gunk can build up on the end of the crown though and affect things, id be sure to check that area, but dont want chemicals around seals mainly ..

You can absolutely use the same procedure.

A CO2 gun has the least capacity to detonate trace solvents left behind from cleaning. We don't worry about it with PCPs and we have even less reason to worry with CO2.

Just use beeswax furniture spray for wood furniture. Beeswax is all natural, good for metal as well as wood. Wont harm any seals or plastic parts. Self cleaning in that it doesnt build up. Also use it on your pellets to stop corrosion and in most cases improve accuracy. Once beeswax is used regularly, barrel cleaning become a simple quick process of just pulling a patch thru with beeswax spray on it followed by a dry patch. Beeswax is also a waterproofer for wood stocks so they dont absorb moisture. There are NO negative effects using beeswax spray. Been using this stuff for almost 30 years along with hundreds of other airgun shooters with no issues. I even usevit on my firearm bores and to remove finger prints..try it..you will like it !!

I buy mine from " Annies Craft Store" online, the same stuff is sold on amazon but Annies has always given good service at fair prices. There are not a lot of different brands out there. Not a computor wiz so posting a link is a bit over my skills, I know enough about computors to get me into trouble!!! However there have been numerous articles and postings about this that a search should be easy. Or just go to Annies and ask for beeswax spray for wood furniture. Also a number of articles written on how to aoply to yiur pellets, quick, simple, works great, no harm!!!!
