Napier Airgun Pull Through Kit

Product Information

When you pull the patches through, be careful to pull centrally to the bore, otherwise you run the risk of damaging the crown. Some shooters believe they never need to clean their barrel, but excess lead does need to be removed. The big advantage of a pull-through is the fact that you’re cleaning the barrel in the direction of travel of the pellet. Microfibre cloth: The ubiquitous microfibre cloth has dozens of uses for airgun maintenance; in this case, it can be used to contain any oil and lead residue that’s being pulled out of the barrel.

All air rifles operate on the same principle: pressurized gas (usually air, but sometimes CO2) is introduced into the barrel behind a projectile, and the pressurized gas drives the pellet or BB down the barrel and out the muzzle. You may want to add a little grease to the rear of your bolt or the hinge mechanism on your sidelever. Trying to feed the pull-through down the shroud and in through the muzzle will usually result in the loop that holds the cleaning patches just folding up on itself.But the leading will keep getting thicker – and eventually, instead of aiding consistency and accuracy, it will work against it. Unless you’re confident enough to remove your barrel for cleaning, this restricts the use of the BoreSnake to just break-barrel airguns. If you aren’t sure how it works, the kit comes with instructions on how precisely to clean your air rifle barrel safely and effectively. Some guns, like the Zbroia Kozak, feature a shroud that does not offer direct access to the barrel itself.

Take six or so pellets and soak three with some sort of solution, such as Napier Power Pellet Lube, but leave the remaining three dry and shoot these last. Toothpick: A humble toothpick can be worth its weight in gold when trying to hook the patch-retaining loop of the pull-through out of the breech – that’s often a place where even the smallest fingers can’t reach in far enough to get a proper grip on the loop. I was and am still astounded by the magic that their specialist air rifle Gunsmith Mark had delivered back to me.From a recognised air-rifle kit brand like Napier of London, you can be sure of only the highest quality. But remember your rifle is still cocked at this stage, so when you dry-fire to clear the action, shoot it outdoors: you will be blasting out a cloud of excess gun oil, even though there’s no pellet in the breech. We offer kits for various calibers and types of air gun to help you get the right solution for your needs. They are dangerous, as although they are very light and come to a complete stop within 15 yards or so, they are still capable of causing damage, so always ensure they are shot in a safe direction.

What are the best air rifle cleaning kits? | The Wolfman

While plenty of people will clean their airguns with a rod, two things really do go against this method. This area is usually too cramped for your fingers to reach into: you may need to use something like a cut-down cotton bud or a toothpick to hook it and retrieve it, so you can then add the patches.

I’m sure many shooters will say it’s completely safe and they’ve never had a problem, but I wouldn’t be comfortable doing it to any of my air rifles, as I’ve seen how much damage can be done to centrefires through incorrect rod-cleaning techniques. The process for cleaning springers and gas-rams is fairly straightforward, so here we’ll concentrate on PCPs. The Napier set includes a can of Power Airgun Oil, which should be sprayed down the muzzle and left to dwell for about a minute to loosen the lead deposits.
