I would not rod an airgun barrel. It is not necessary.
Was the brush bristle or wire. Both are not good news IMHO.
Get a pull thru and some .22 patches......some good quality gun oil and pull through till they come out clear. Then a few dry ones.
A clean barrel can actually open a group until it leads up..... or it can tighten it. Each barrel os different.
The pellets are buggered.
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
It's probably a combination of both Rob.
. If it's accurate, I wouldn't bother with the barrel clean before you put it away - you'll only change the leading from the pellets.
Oxidised pellets also won't do you any favours - you could try some lube but, they'll probably still be shite. I'd buy new pellets and, put a load down the barrel to see if the accuracy comes back.
Good luck 👍
All of the above.
A gunsmith told me add couple drops of gun oil to tin pellets but still no good,ill bin those,also ill do away with those rods i used to clean barrel n use pull through.ah well it aint all bad i thought might av been problem with the gun,but by sounds of it just needs better quality pellets,ill do that n see how it goes.cheers lads great for advice as always :-)
my usual answer. and it works. fag filters. fire a few through and lo and behold a clean barrel.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

Rob, if you really must clean? then get one of those VFG Field wire pull throughs that come in a mint tin. I have one for my .22lr, and some drilled pellets too, just a drop of oil is all that you need for air.
I wouldn't on an air rifle though, by the way.
