In addition to the wise advise already provided, I would strongly recommend an "intensive" barrel cleaning process with something like VFG blue paste/felts. I have seen many barrels brought back from the dead following a good seeing too with this cleaning regime. I also know of several top shooters who have resorted to using the infamous copper brush coated with cleaning paste to achieve the same outcome, although I am personally not brave enough to be so aggressive with an airgun barrel.

have done this a couple of time, with great results, but only on barrels that I was ready to scrap, so had nothing to lose. Not recommended in any other situation really.Originally Posted by Amac
And it helps to have a lathe to machine a new one if needed
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Did you forget the power feed, the gun drill for coolant, a coolant capable lathe, the travelling centre and the four jaw chuck?have done this a couple of time, with great results, but only on barrels that I was ready to scrap, so had nothing to lose. Not recommended in any other situation really.
