    Ive been doing this with mothers for years now. Here are Some extra tips.
    1. If you are polishing a long barrel use a table vice with rubber grips to hold the barrel in place for you.
    2. To clean off the mag polish once done polishing alternatively is to use dish soap as the detergent in the dish soap will easily wash it away. Use warm running water and a cleaning rod with white cloth and keep passing till the water is clear and when the cloth looks clean.
    In all honesty cleaning your barrel regularly this way is much better and more effective than using silicone spray or just dry.
    Great vid!

      @@referenceplz5547 technically the reasoning to do this is to try and even out the inside of any non uniformity. I think this can help brass barrels with that. Other coated barrels you shouldnt need to do this but i still suggest cleaning them before use with dish soap and a cleaning rod.

    Hands down the cheapest, most effective mod you can do. I use the same exact Mother's polish also. Didn't think about the cleaning rod though as I use a .22lr cleaning kit. The one that comes with the T-handle and cotton tips.

    Congratulations on the video. Few CZcams channels make me as satisfied as yours. Great Content! For me to polish my inner pipes, I took advantage of your idea. The difference is that I cut (with scissors) 2 cm wide flannel tapes, and wrapped them around this plastic rod that I use with the drill. It's perfect! Big hug.

  • @MicroMasjien
    @MicroMasjien Před 2 lety +5

    As always, another great video, thanks! One question, doesn't the wobble of the plastic rod cause damage to the inner barrel? I tried this on one of my older barrels and I'm pretty sure the plastic rod touches the inside of the barrel since it's not perfectly straight. Especially if it's a longer barrel, e.g. 15-20 inches. Also, would it matter if you gripping the barrel in the drill vs gripping the rod?

    • @40mmmikemike
      @40mmmikemike Před rokem +3

      I wouldn't recommend putting the barrel in the drill because the drill might grip the barrel too tight and deform it. No need to polish the outside anyways. And ya it's probably possible that the rod could scratch the inside of the barrel, but it's probably still better than not polishing a cheap barrel.

    • @MFCClan

      Soft is for .20 bbs and hard is for heavier bbs which you should use if your r-hopping to prevent the bb from arching up.

      @@MFCClan well I heard that too. But when R-hoping, it doesn't matter if it's a soft or hard, to the extent the hop up effect will be given by the r-hop, so I guess there is another reason to use a hard bucking, maybe for a better air seal ?

      Not true. First, if you use any thread tape to shim the inner barrel with the outer, you want it to have a smooth clean surface to adhere to. Second, if you want your barrel and bucking to seal as good as possible, not counting thread tape or glue, you again, would indeed want to do this.
