how to clean the FWB 103 barrel ?

Post by bereznov »

I am perplexed re cleaning my FWB 103 barrel.
I know you should not pass a rod from the crown end toward the breech in order to prevent crown alterations. In the 103, it seems impossible to pass a rod breech to crown direction and when using a cable pull cleaner from breech to crown the drop in ( pull ) end catches in the muzzle break.

Please provide any ideas or solutions you may have in this regard.

Thanks

When feeding the patchworm (http://www.patchworm.com/) from the breech end, I use a soda straw, or a short length of brass tubing (of appopriate o.d.) inserted into the muzzle break/compensator so that it is flush against the barrel. Or, you could try feeding the cable from the muzzle end.
