Well, you're an experimenting, mad scientist Josh.
I like to keep my life simple. I find something that works, and stay with it.
It would have been cheaper and easier to use Pyro, but i'm not going to jump through hoops to do it.
Since my gun is new to me. I haven't given up. The gun sat in the shop for year. I did get some rust and gunk when I first cleaned it. I got the barrel squeaky clean, but wasn't sure about the breech. When I ran a pipe cleaner through it, it seemed clogged, but being a new gun I wasn't sure what it should feel like clean. That's how I shot it and was getting delays. Last night I cleaned it and really pumped for 15 minutes. I used warm/hot water, soap, and Ballistol. It seemed the stream I pumped out was getting stronger and stronger.
Then after it was all done and dried off I ran another pipe cleaner through the channel. It went through further and easier. I think it was a bit clogged. I also did a better job of cleaning the nipple, and the hole seems bigger now.
When I was shooting and getting the delays. I never got one after clearing out the nipple and shooting a cap off to make sure it was clear. It always took a couple of shots after that to get a delay.
I might have made it worse by swabbing every shot. I could have been shoving more crud down there.
This is what bothers me about Pyro. It works if everything is perfect. I feel that even though I had crud packed in there. BP would have fired.
You could look at my targets, and see easily every shot that was a delay. I'm not a good enough target shooter to hold steady with a delay. I jerk it off every time. I can't afford that during a competition, or a hunt. I need one bang. Not a little bang and a big bang.
So there.
