Cleaning the barrel on my new Benjamin Marauder Semi-Auto

/ nwairguns
The semi-auto action of the Benjamin Marauder presents a few challenges. Here's how I do it.

[@sandyschupper8401]

Excellent thank you. My Armada semi auto arrived about an hour ago and I'm letting it acclimate to room temperature but it's cold outside and the next step would be to clean it and I found this video very helpful because I was trying to figure out OK I need an extra hand to hold the charging handle back so now I need to make sure I have strong rubber bands.

Just sent an email. I can't tell you how grateful I am to find this video AND from West Sacramento!!

[@MrWeda2]

Hello! I am very glad to see you in health. Sincerely, Alexander.

seams lik a waste of time to take the baffle off--stick a straw in the barrel, (leave it in) slid your worm with the cleaning patch through the barrel , the straw will let the patch go through the baffle, that's how I clean mine , never had a problem, saves taking the shroud off, seems like a waste of time and extra work, to take the shroud off.

It’s good to see you posting a video. It’s been a very long time my friend. Cheers, Jeff Anderson

I think you're wrong, according to the diagram it indicates that first goes the spring and then the 7 plastic baffles and the last screw. You first put the 7 plastic baffles and turned them upside down after the spring and screwed up. I would like to know your opinion since the manual says differently

Bore Snake- the best barrel cleaning device you can buy.

[@sandyschupper8401]

I have found that the bands bend the charging handle downward and will cause problems.

I really appreciate your videos!

Great video. I just received mine today from midway in the synthetic, may you could help me out, on mine the barrel band at the end doesn’t even touch the barrel, I can move the barrel around and see light all the way around it, just does not seem like it doing anything. It also came with no air in it, which may not be an issue, my compressor hasn’t arrived yet so I can’t try to fill it.

[@NorthWestAirgun]

Noooooo, so sad to get a new pcp and not be able to fill it! Well, soon to be addressed. You better have pellets too, cause you’ll go through a lot with the semi-auto. Actually, barrel band on the mrod sar isn’t supposed to touch the shroud. It’s just there to keep you from accidentally banging the barrel hard enough to bend it. In fact, can be bad if they touch. The air tube can shift and change size very slightly as you shoot out the compressed air, from full to refill. That can pull the barrel off so the poi moves as you shoot down the fill. You start out dead on, and in the end can’t hit anything. That’s the theory, anyway.

[@mikecup212]

@@NorthWestAirgun thank you very much for getting back to me, it’s my first pcp gun, so I just was not sure if I should return it, but of course I’m keeping it now, if it holds air that is, I was under the impression that when you receive a new gun it should have some air in it, this one has zero. Hopefully it will be ok.

@@mikecup212 Any time someone has issues with a new gun, it's best to contact the seller, even just for simple questions. Good luck with the MROD SAM, it should be lots of fun for you.

🤔never thought of straws as being in calibers!

[@saviofalcao670]

Hi .can you shoot mrod without baffles? With the end cap on?

[@NorthWestAirgun]

I suppose, but why would you?

[@saviofalcao670]

@@NorthWestAirgun cose my baffles are badly damaged and it's difficult to find spares in my country

[@brentklotz5882]

What do you use to pull thru the barrel

[@brentdoolin4791]

Patchworm Pull Through Cleaning Kit

[@bornagian1744]

Have you had any issues with your rifle alex

[@NorthWestAirgun]

No, not yet

[@melvonnar1]

just make sure you use the recommended pellets, I have had no problems, I have put about 500 pellets through mine.

[@stoner27th]

wait, marauder is now semi auto?

[@yamar6]

It was released last year

[@stoner27th]

@@yamar6 Yeah I completely forgot about it!, apparently I did put an order to my dealer last year, but they haven't made the .177 version yet. It's the only legal caliber here.
