Is it better to remove the inner barrel to clean it or can it be done just as well with it inside the gun?
I broke my cleaning rod so I bought some 14" 6mm pipe cleaners.

Yep. Take the hopup unit and bucking off. Also, polish the barrel with car polish.Q-bald wrote:NJSC wrote:Better to remove it.

You could its a theory that it gives you tighter groupings but just cleaning it would be fine.

Yea I remember reading a post a while back about polish. Do you let the polish dry a bit before buffing it off?
Or just wax on wax off immediately?

I am not sure but go for it, and if it doesn't work out, your barrel will just be nice and shiny!

yes anything with a light cut will work. it's just to polish out the imperfections of the inside of the barrel

you can also use any metal polish. I use brasso and it works great.

Ok so i polished the barrel and I have about 2 inch groupings at 50 feet using iron sights. Is that pretty good for a 285mm stock barrel?

Yeah, for a stock clone, that's great. Did you upgrade the hopup bucking?Q-bald wrote:Ok so i polished the barrel and I have about 2 inch groupings at 50 feet using iron sights. Is that pretty good for a 285mm stock barrel?
