Introduction
A tutorial teaching players how to clean a barrel safely using swabs and squeegees to remove paint, debris, and moisture while preserving internal finish.
Key Points
- Shows safe barrel removal and inspection.
- Explains swab and squeegee use for debris removal.
- Covers drying techniques to prevent streaking.
- Teaches how to identify buildup that affects accuracy.
- Improves airflow consistency and reduces barrel breaks.
Details
This tutorial guides players through proper barrel cleaning. After unscrewing the barrel, players inspect the bore for paint, dirt, or grass. A pull-through swab or squeegee is inserted fully and drawn in a single smooth motion to remove residue.
If paint remains, the process is repeated with slow, even passes. Rapid scrubbing is avoided because it smears debris rather than lifting it.
Once clean, players use a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture from both ends of the barrel. Thread surfaces are inspected for dirt before reinstallation.
Clean barrels support consistent velocity, airflow, and shot grouping.
