You’ll be surprised as to how many folks use a rod AND a brass brush to thoroughly clean their modern air rifle barrels on a padded vise. To me, the pull through is left for either field use or in between the rod and brush cleanings. Been using a Dewey one piece rod with brass brushes and cloth mops for a few years now

I've always said, "You do you and I'll do me"

No way Im using a rod or brass brush without knowing if its Rockwell C is in the mid 30 to 40 range.

Yeah, I rarely clean my barrels. Even more rarely, do I use a brush on it. When I do, it is a nylon bristled one. Most of the time, I just use some wd40 on a pad and push it through. Doesn't take very many swipes and it is clean.

I do agree with your statement. It is your gun, do what you want.

I would love to see someone actually do a test on accuracy and erosion of the bore on a barrel liner, just to see if we are all overly anal about these things.

Personally, I bet the tune has more effect on accuracy than a brass brush.

Typical cleaning rods are perfectly fine for airgun barrels when access is not an issue. Patchworm and the like became popular for those situations when access to airgun breeches is an issue, which is obviously not the case when the liner has been removed. Somewhere along the line a lack of critical thinking made it seem that cleaning rods were not appropriate for airgun use since so many people were using patchworm or similar. Quite silly, really.

Pretty bold words without any idea of your qualifications to make such a statement in the first place?

If it were me lol == Leave the barrel assembly locked and secure in the rifle
+ Screw it all back together and take a hair dryer and heat the end of the shroud all the way around evenly a pretty good heat so you cannot grab it and continue holding with out burning haha.
+Then take the rubber backing of a computer mouse pad wrap it around the shroud and continue to tighten it together until the piece in the end of the shroud housing breaks free from The end cap piece that has the liner nut captive haha.
+as you continue to do this it will unscrew the end of the shroud piece and you will have access the the liner nut or you can do it the way firewalker described with the loctite above.

Best of luck to you. I have done it this way I described above numerous times with success always.

did you get it out yet? lol. This is a method I have used a lot in the past just checking .

Hello, I first tried the bond in the liner method and that worked. But thanks for your help
