Any need to clean gun after using a CO2 unloader? I've had the unloader for a couple years, but never had the adapter to use it ...finally got that ordered and will use it this year.

Do you run into rust problems with the unfired powder like you do if you shoot and don't clean it?

Unfired powder will normally not rust the barrel. There have been some that conducted tests on barrel grade steel by taping different brands of powder to it, then watching for rust. The results of the test were no rust. So in the case of your barrel, I would think the chance of it rusting after being blown out with a CO2 discharger would be slim to none.

Now personally, how long would it take to put a solvent patch on a jag, run that down the bore just to make sure there is no left over powder clinging in there, crud, or anything else that does not belong. Then run a dry patch or two to dry the bore. Finally, a lighty oiled patch to make sure the rifle was fine for the evening or even a couple of days in the evet you did not get back out into the field the next couple days. Better safe then sorry in my book. A little attention now can solve a lot of problems in the future. Good luck with your unloader and keep track of the number of times if unloads for you per cartridge and how well it works...

I don't"clean" mine the like the normal thorough cleaning I give a rifle if I've shot it...but if I ever put anything in a bore, then take it out, I at least wipe, dry, and lube the bore...I just don'tlike putting up a rifle that's had anything in the bore without doing that.....$%#& happens...this way I never have to worry about it...only takes a minute

My .02 cents...

cool...yeah I figured I could run a patch down the barrel, but I didn't want to have to boil water and do an all-out cleaning.
