Hey Costas, you took my tip on the roll-up filters then....
Neil
Current airguns:- Steyr LG110: Steyr LP10: Air Arms HFT500: Weihrauch97 fully customised.
The filter tips reeves was for the .25 as its silencer is not like a awt, but I thought Id give thee old mfr a clean like the .25 and ended smashing the insides up. The mfr really reeves i usually take off the silencer and do a pull-through but saw it worked fine on the mk2 .25 id thought it would be fine for the mfr but it turned out it wasn't.
Once again reeves just would like to say a Big Thank-You for what you did for me reeves, true gentlemen mate and really appreciate it.
MFR is laser-guided accuracy I cant believe it my self, its been along time the mfr was messing around and accuracy was suffering , was never good as it was before and put it down to "too much cleaning" "barrel might be bent" "need to take it to Benny for a full service" allsorts. Then after that loud bang i just knew something was wrong, got on the blower to you, did a few findings and yes you were correct. Stuck the new AWT which is a vast improvement to the old ones and has transformed the rifle completely and i mean completely, very quiet and extremely accurate , thoughts bis mags are going on pellet on pellet at 60 yds with 1 mill dot, pellet on pellet at 50 yds cross hair, spot on.
That's how my rifle should perform and never ever in a million years would have thought the internals were swimming around every time i fired the rifle as it made no noise nor any indicating that there was something wrong until you told me what to do and look for.
Nice one Reeves top man ......and yes I will be taking off the silencer to clean from now on. Happy new Year Reeves and well done on the new AWT silencers they are extremely quiet and got to be one of the best silencers around.

Using a pullthroug can wear the crown when you pull the string accross it, usually on the same side.
Just a cautionary note for any spring rifle owners......don't dry fire these filter tips, although they offer some resistance, you still need to put a pellet behind the filter tip prior to firing, or you risk serious damage to your gun.
I've used these filters for ages...only 70p for 100 and they work great with youngs 303 oil.

i clean my 177 rapid with fag filters it works a treat
on a brand new gun would you advise cleaning the barrel then start with a type of pellet and see if you get good groups?
or not bother to clean and go straight into conditioning?
i have heard people say at least a tin (500) of pellets to condition a new gun would this be a fair assumption(sp?)?

Depends entirely on its accuracy 'out of the box'. If OK with pellets you expect to work in that type of rifle then don't bother.. Although rifles need a lining of lead to 'condition' the barrel a full tin is rather a lot just for leading. However, springers do take a while for all the moving parts to bed in and for the rifle to reach optimum. I'd say up to 1000 shots to see what it really can do and get it shooting really sweetly.
