One way to do it is shoot cleaning pellets soaked in silicone oil but how do i clean it using patches? I have the patch loop rod which they sent me in the box. Do we have to strip the pistol and remove the muzzle to clean it or is there any easier way to do it ? Thanks in advance.

Carefully pull off the cotton on each end, roll em around between your thumb and index finger like a freshly picked booger, jam it in like a pellet and fire it in a safe direction. I usually do two or three. And you can get them at the dollar store.

I usually do two or three. And you can get them at the dollar store. Instead of the Q-tips you can get some cleaning pellets. They are made to clean the bore (http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/pellet.pl?pellet_id=407). I had asked this question coz i wanted to know, how to clean the bore using the rod which they send in the IZH box. how to use it with cotton pads ??   Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:14 am 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 I've haven't cleaned the 46m since I pulled a clean patch through it when I took it out of the package. Still stacks pellets after putting numerous sleeves through it. Don't mess with success, more likely to screw it up   Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:19 am Bhargav Veteran Member Joined: 23 Aug 2007 Posts: 213 Location: WA, USA 23ib0d0n wrote: I've haven't cleaned the 46m since I pulled a clean patch through it when I took it out of the package.

Don't mess with success, more likely to screw it up True, my izh shoots great right now and i don't dare to put that rod up the bore. it might scratch it and i may never get clear shots ... trrrr sends shivers down my spine   Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:21 am Bhargav Veteran Member Joined: 23 Aug 2007 Posts: 213 Location: WA, USA Hi 23, can you give me some tips on how do i sand my grips .. they are too bulky for my hand and my hand really hurts after 20-30 shots. Thanks.   Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:57 am 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Don't seem to bother me. I have read that most people dislike the factory grip and change the shape. Dan reshaped his. Then he bought these from Woods and Water Outdoors   Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:20 am johnlochey Veteran Member Joined: 12 Apr 2007 Posts: 122 Location: Tecumseh, MI, USA I have custom grips for mine, and I really like them. Just FWIW. _________________ John God is great in '08 IZH grip mod   Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2013 1:01 am 38super New Member Joined: 15 Sep 2013 Posts: 8 Location: SoCal Bhargav I'd use either a rat tail or half round wood file for minor rough shaping, then sand paper. For mine, I used a flex drive with a rotary rasp and bondo to fill in the back strap. What ever you do, go slow til you like the grip shape. Some friends of mine will purposely over trim a grip. Then they butter up the grip with bondo, slip on a surgical rubber glove and hold it Now the bondo will get pretty warm as it sets up but it should hold it's shape. If not happy, add more bondo and reshape til happy.   Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2013 3:26 pm toadmyster223 Senior Member Joined: 20 Mar 2012 Posts: 501 Location: Fayette Nam, PA I'm generally against cleaning the bores of my airgun. I'd rather not spend another 1000 pellets getting it to shoot again   Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2013 6:00 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I don't think I've ever cleaned the bore of my 2240 and I've had it 21 years. lol Still has a quarter inch group at 10 meters. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that?
