Hi guys just got the result of the final barrel polish here really happy with how it came out, the rifles really grouping well now and the rifle is coming together nicely. Thanks for watching.
Great video once again Jake, ever since you showed me how to polish up a barrel I've now done all 5 of my rifles and I definitely got tightened up group's on all the rifles so thank you for that . Look forward to the next one mate .
Very very impressive 👏 UKs best Benjamin? I'd definitely say so 👌 If you actually stop and consider what this gun was out the box i.e a budget mass made Turkish rifle it really does just go to show what a bit of tune and fettle can really do especially when carried out by someone such as yourself 😁👍 Brilliant watch as ever 👌 keep em coming the more technical the better 🙂 atb
Thanks mate, the Benjamin has really surprised us, we though there was no way we could get away without re-barreling the rifle and doing a bunch of re machining, but as of now we have done very little in terms of specialist work and its transformed the rifle, shoved a reg in and give the barrel a ruddy good polish and getting a sub 6mm c2c group at 50 yards, more work to come. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners true! stx barrel choke are tight but works well on jsb pellets. mine now works on any good pellets... thanks again and more power on your channel..
Thanks. Getting my first pcp Delivered this Friday. I’m usually AR and AK guy but thought I’d give this Air rifle stuff a try and save some money on ammo and time. I’m getting the Walther Reign bullpup in .22 Found your video very informative, thank you. I wasn’t sure if I want to switch the charging handle to the left side but if I have to break this thing in half to do that . So polishing the barrel will make it worth my time doing both. Or if I don’t have to polish and I’m lucky at least I’ll know I don’t have a barrel problem. Who am I kidding ! All gun people like to tinker with their toys we can’t help it.
Ifs its not broke fix it till it is, but tinkering and messing around with the rifles is most of the fun for us trying new things and getting results is much more fun then just shooting on its own, good luck with your future tinkerings. Thanks for watching.
50 yards is defiantly a good test for a rifle, good luck with the barrels, take it a little at a time and they will turn out fine. Thanks for watching.
Please excuse my ignorance as I am new to modern air rifle shooting and am waiting for my police approval before I can join my local club. I hoping to invest in a pcp rifle once I have learnt to shoot my old Weihrauch HW77. I am absolutely amazed at your skill in gun engineering and the fantastic results you have achieved with this rifle. My question, again please excuse my ignorance is WHY don't the manufacturers carry out this work in the first place to improve their product is it simply a question of cost ?. So impressed I have subscribed thanks so much.
Its just cost, this rifle cost less than £600 new, and to check every rifle at a range and tune them to make them good would take too much time/ money, the thing is they work on volume some will be useless and some will be fantastic, we had one in the club that straight out the box was phenomenal, its just how lucky you are. Thanks for watching.
Its an abrasive action the auto- sol contains aluminium oxide which we impregnate into the string, aluminium oxide is just a little softer than diamond. The metal isn't soft the aluminum oxide is just much harder. Thanks for watching.
I prefer the Patchworm barrel cleaner, it does a deeper and more thorough clean then other barrel cleaners. I also believe the choked barrels cause more problems than not, as they cause lead to build up in the barrel.
@@sub12airgunners I tested 100 brands and weights of pellets on my BSA Lightning choked barrel and only 28 of them grouped within 25mm within a 10p pence piece. Only 9 grouped within 20mm, 4 grouped within 14mm and 2 grouped within 10mm. Though after multiple tests with the tighter grouping pellets they began to have the of flyer producing wider groups.
Thank you. You said in the video that "you can go too far when polishing barrels", and my question is, has that ever happened to you or anyone you know? And what was the result from too much polishing? Thank you ahead of time.
yes what tends to happen is the crown or the lead gets uneven and you get flyers from the pellet loading badly or leaving the crown one side before the other
Most other barrel polishing demos they are adamant you don’t go past the end so the crown doesn’t get rounded, but they are all using rods. Difficult if you are trying to sort out the choke. Do you think it’s so important to avoid going over the crown?
Thanks we list everything we sell on ebay. Thanks for watching. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/geoffeve-7/m.html?item=373781114992&hash=item5707173070%3Ag%3AJ5EAAOSwNwpgWKA7&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
I've found the breach end with a good funnel shape polish take the pellet picky out!! No more nicks entering the back of the barrel or goin across the transfer port hole,,. And very light thin silicon oil the pellets give a tighter group too 😁,,.
Very good videos sir we have a lot in common I'm a retired machinist and avid air gunner just bought a fx impact would like to make my own barrel also have a small lathe and mill but my lathe does not have change gears for metric thread pitches looks like you all across the pond like your shafts polished real good too thank very much nice maching work too what brand is your mill and lathe love your quick change toolpost looks like a myford
My choke seems very tight groups at . 62 will doing this to help loosen choke. How many times back and forth with lapping compound. Have polished lightly 3 times but didn't concentrate on choke
Hello, the question is not about Leshy but please, if you are so kind, have an idea of what pressure the regulator of the weihrauch s 100 5.5 needs so that between 45 and 50 joules with JSB yumbo heavy, thank you
Hi friend, I just got one and I need your help. I left it in a closet one day and my 8 years old son took apart the barrel protector were a spring and some plastic cups are wish I fund all over. Just I need to know the position of everything. I'll appreciate your help.
Hi mate, as a hobby machinist an airgun enthusiast your videos are very interesting. I got a r5m .25 that the first 20 cm are very tight then loose a bit and tight again in the choke, never have consistent results with it. Looking inside the barrel look very good and shiny . I'm afraid to screw up if I polish , what do you think? Thanks
And the pellet entrance is a little bit sharp to . Got very good results couple of years ago cutting the choke in a hw 100 barrel and polishing the crown
if you go slow and steady you should be fine, if the lead is a little sharp start there, the pellet should feed in with a bit of resistance but no real force, chokes are funny things and pellet choice can make a huge difference, if it feels excessively tight you could benefit from taking some material out of it. Thanks for watching.
Hi can we use car paint scratch remover paste too to polish the barrel. I see traces of lead shining on my barrel port each i remove the barrel to clean.
@@sub12airgunners hey thanks. Quite new to pcp. I found out my barrel was not seated properly and the two hex screws that holds the barrel to the breech were not in their slots. The pellets were probably being fired with skirts still on the port. I will slightly polish the breech.
Hi, If autosol cream applied to clean the barrel then the n is cream application harm the bore of barrel or not? Is any change occur in dia or not. 5.52 to 5.54
Yep leave no trace of the metal polish in the barrel, I used the Napier pull through with some ballistol to get it nice and clean. Thanks for watching.
Por lo poco que conosco de rifles de aire comprmido son los que poseen un buen largo de cañon estrias bajas y ojala 16 estrias son los mas rapidos y presisos el motivo poco rose del pelet al transitar por el cañon el echo de que sean las estrias vajas deja escapar menos presion de aire entre el pelet y las estrias y sumando al cañon largo te vrindan un mallor alcanse y mallor presision
El como lo comprove simple use distintos rifles durante años asta qué optuve un norica de compañia española y manofactura americana y veia ke la presision era exstraordinaria para ser un rifle resortero tambien beia el alcanse para ser un rifle de solo 70 sentimetros de largo incluido culata y cañon a esto le sumava ke la potensia entregada me permitia asertar a vlancos a 50 metros aun con la condisionante ke su resorte ya estava vastante averiado me pregunte ke susede si pongo este cañon en un norica mas potente y la presision alcanse segia siendo aun mallor compare el cañon del modelo 170 de norica calibre 4,5 milimetros con el 5 ,5milimetros y vi las grandes diferensias estrian mui ondas en la malloria de los rifles y gran parte de eyos tenian 14 estrias mientras ke el 170 norica poseia 16 estrias bajas y un largo de cañon identico al de el promedio de los demas rifles ai me di cuenta ke son solo 3 cosas ke te dan presision estrias vajas ojala las 16 estrias y un largo de cañon apropiado a la potensia del rifle es tan simple como eso para optener vuenos tiros a distancia y en opjetivos pekeños
Good question, I push a pellet through straight after polishing and cleaning the barrel, and get a feel for it, if its still rough I give it another polish, but when I am happy, I just put it back on the rifle and shoot it, usually after a polish the barrel takes half the amount of leading up, this barrel needs less than 50 pellets to re lead after a clean, and shooting it all Saturday I never felt the barrel could use a clean. Thanks for watching.
Sorry we can't work on other peoples rifles, we don't have an RFD licence, you can do it your self though its not hard and if you take a little at a time and test between polishes you will be able to manage it. Thanks for watching.
