So I have been scrubbing away at that Renegade this week... Bore looks like a mirror, but patches never come out spotless. So, just bought a flush tube and decided to give it a try. You know the tubing? You know how vinyl tubing likes to expand when you put scalding water through it? So, on the downstroke, the tube lets go of the end that threads into the nipple hole. Yup, a nice stream of scalding water on my left foot!
The question is, how do you folks keep the tube attached when it wants to expand? Small gasket clamp? Zip tie? Or something else?
Sidenote... The Renegade barrel looks great....EXCEPT for what you guys might call "etching" from corrosion. Rifling is extremely strong, but there are all those little, light scratches throughout. Can't feel them with a tight patch, so I think she should shoot well. Stock has some honest wear from being used, but in overall real good shape. If she shoots well, before ice fishing season I might be asking for tips on refinishing it.
Thanks,
Jim
