Still pretty impressive though for a thread to still be running for 12 years Neil.



I remember reading many years ago, a Venom article in one the AG mags.

Saying not to clean a barrel from breech to muzzle, as you don't want to be dragging any muck up from the barrel,

through the choke and crown, which kind of makes sense to me.

I have always cleaned a barrel from breech to muzzle for no other reason than that's the way the pellet travels,
After reading this thread it would make sense to pull the dirt away from the muzzle.
A very interesting thread. Thanks to all that contributed. Martin

A mischievous, tongue-in-cheek comment: I’d rather any muck comes out completely, not left at either end! AND... why pull the muck towards the air port on PCPs?
