Title: how to clean barrel with FF3 or venom like sight ? Leave barrel on ?
Post by: Bobby5 on April 09, 2020, 10:52:19 PM
  I just purchased a FF3 and was wondering how you guys clean the barrel? I assume you don't take the barrel off since the scope is mounted to the receiver. What's your cleaning process while sighting it in?  How often do you clean it ?

Clean like you did not have one.   Unless you drop it on the ground the recoil of the gun will be rougher then you can be cleaning it.

I think he's worried about point of impact changing when you remove and reattach barrel since the optics are attached to receiver and not barrel itself.

If you tighten the magazine cap that locks the barrel on firmly, it should shoot the same. These guns lock together with consistency, I have never had my poa change when I removed the barrel. Good luck...

I mark the cap and barrel with a sharpie so I can tighten the cap to the same spot as when I took it off.

Me three with the sharpie....Between my son and I, we have 6 turkey guns with reflex sights. When we clean them, we remove the barrels and clean away, them reattach and match up the marks on the barrel band and magazine cap. Never had a problem.....
