Properly using the PatchWorm cleaning heads is essential for effective firearm maintenance. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to use them:

1. Select the Appropriate Cleaning Head:

   • Choose the cleaning head that matches the caliber of your firearm.
   • For example, if you’re cleaning a .22 caliber firearm, use the .22 Cleaning Head provided in the PatchWorm Small Caliber Kit.

2. Attach the Cleaning Head to the Rod:

   • Screw the cleaning head onto the end of the cleaning rod.
   • Ensure it is securely attached to prevent any accidental detachment during cleaning.

3. Prepare the Patch or Cleaning Material:

   • Cut a cotton patch to the appropriate size for your caliber.
   • Alternatively, use a felt cleaning button if you’re dealing with heavy fouling.

4. Apply Cleaning Solvent:

   • Apply a few drops of your preferred gun cleaning solvent to the patch or felt button.
   • Make sure the solvent is compatible with your firearm type (e.g., copper solvent for copper fouling).

5. Insert the Cleaning Head into the Bore:

   • Gently insert the cleaning head (with the attached patch or felt) into the firearm’s bore from the chamber end.
   • Push it through the barrel until it emerges from the muzzle.

6. Pull the Patch Through the Bore:

   • Grasp the rod near the muzzle end and pull it back through the bore.
   • The cleaning head will drag the patch or felt along, effectively cleaning the bore.
   • Repeat this process several times until the bore is clean.

7. Inspect the Bore:

   • After cleaning, visually inspect the bore to ensure it’s free from fouling, debris, and residue.
   • If needed, repeat the cleaning process until the bore is spotless.

8. Remove the Cleaning Head:

   • Unscrew the cleaning head from the rod.
   • Clean the head itself to remove any accumulated dirt or solvent.

9. Store the Cleaning Head Properly:

   • Store the cleaning head separately from the rod to prevent damage or contamination.
   • Keep it in a clean, dry place.

Remember to follow safety precautions while cleaning firearms, such as ensuring the firearm is unloaded and pointing it in a safe direction. Regular maintenance using the PatchWorm system will help keep your firearm in optimal condition.
