What is best for the O Ring to put on the patches for cleaning? I see some people use Goo Gone or FP-10. I understand no JB bore paste with the O Ring in. So what is best? I want to clean my new M-Rod barrel before its first use. I don't have extra O Rings so I don't want to pull it for a good scrubbing with JB or something that might hurt the seal.

I just use brass rods with the proper size bore mop on the end. I run the bore mop dry from the breech end around ten times. I wipe off the mop every swipe to get the excess lead out. Ive never had to use any type of solvents like I have to with powderburners. You dont have to remove powder residue like you have to with real guns. Dont use any petrolium based products due to the high operating pressures of the air rifle. Just run dry mop until it comes out clean, then put some clp on a patch very lightly and run it through once if you plan on storing the gun for awhile. If you plan on shooting it just leave the bore dry. The only thing left is to lube your oring with Divers Oring lube you get at dive shops... remember silicone based it ok but no petrolium based products!

On my CLP bottle is says it contains petroleum distillates... I did find that I have an old bottle of Beeman degreaser/cleaner that says its safe on air gun seals so it seems like that plus some Divers lube and I should be fine to start with.

The only reason I said to use CLP is for storage, not for daily cleaning. I find CLP drys to a film after a bit. I keep my barrel dry, I shoot on a regular basis so there is no need to worry about rust.
