What's your procedure? What kit do you use? How often do you clean?

Two patches wet with TSI 301 on a pull through, then a dry patch. After every tin.

TS301 is a non-petroleum based solvent. It also come in liquid form. I do not know the composition, but it smells sort of citrus???

Cleaning pellets after every practice, and about 3x a year, pull through a patch soaked in PelOil followed by a dry patch?

I use a 177 no-brush bore snake after every tin. I usually pull it thru 3 times. Oil can be shady in air guns due to ignition, so I just keep it dry.

I break the ends off a Q-Tip and shoot them through my air pistol whenever. They are really cheap and easy. They DO leave lint in compensators, though.

I would stick to the manufacturers cleaning instructions.

Agreed, which is probably way less than some folks seem to be cleaning. I don't even clean my small bore rifle as often as that.
