I've read much about barrel conditioning......all of it seemed great sense!
My Webley Omega .177 cal was producing very poor groups at all ranges. Was it me or was it the gun. I'm not the worlds greatest shot but surely I thought.......I can't be that bad!!
This afternoon I decided to clean the Omega's barrel.
With cleaning paste, coarse and medium felt pads & a wire pull through I began.
What a filthy state the felt pads were in after pulling them thru' the barrel!!
About 20 coarse followed by 15 medium pads were used to remove the "deposits" on the bore.
I finished off with a few pull-throughs of a recommended propriety teflon grease - just to 'line' the bore.
I used about 20-off AA 4.52 cal to condition the bore.
My groups were superb!
Only fired over 20 yards but managed 5 shots in a diameter of a 5p coin!!
I think I'll do my Webley Eclipse .22 cal next!!
Also I must remember to clean & condition the barrels after 200-300 shots.
Thanks UKneil
