In Reply to: Battle Swab and straight shot posted by Jacen99 on October 19, 2002 at 16:01:03:

: I just bought a battle swab and a straight shot squeegee. I have seen them used before and it doesnt seem like its doing much. It seems to me that its just pushing all of the ball breakage back into the chamber of the marker. Can someone explain how to use the battle swab and a straight shot squeegee and what they do. Thanks.

OK, the other guys recommended taking your barrel off to clean it. That's great to do... if you can. I come from the "might as well be fixed" barrel camp: I shoot an SL-68II, and the barrel is not field-removable. I use a Straight-Shot squeegee to clean the occasional ball break. What you do is push down on the end that has the cloth strip (it's spring loaded), then put the disc end down the barrel. Let go of the spring-loaded end, which allows the disc to pop back into position at the breech end of the barrel. Pull the squeegee out, pulling the broken ball and paint with it. Then, run the other end (the cloth strip end) down the barrel to field-dry it. That should take care of most barrel break problems.
