What's your procedure? What kit do you use? How often do you clean?

Two patches wet with TSI 301 on a pull through, then a dry patch. After every tin.

TS301 is a non-petroleum based solvent. It also come in liquid form. I do not know the composition, but it smells sort of citrus???

Cleaning pellets after every practice, and about 3x a year, pull through a patch soaked in PelOil followed by a dry patch?

I use a 177 no-brush bore snake after every tin. I usually pull it thru 3 times. Oil can be shady in air guns due to ignition, so I just keep it dry.

I break the ends off a Q-Tip and shoot them through my air pistol whenever. They are really cheap and easy. They DO leave lint in compensators, though.

Agreed, which is probably way less than some folks seem to be cleaning. I don't even clean my small bore rifle as often as that.

Rob.
