Confused I have an alpha black tactical and it is my first paintball marker i enjoy it and i do alot of research on the computer about it and paintball however i have had no luck finding out how to clean the barrel. This is important because i read that dirt and and stuff can scratch you barrel on the inside and this can hook or catch the ball and throw it off track so any help would be greaty appreciated. Oh and most importantly i do not have a squeegy :(

  Welcome aboard!!  unscrew the barrel and rinse it with water to remove the large debris.  Then you can push cotton balls or small pieces of paper towel thru it with a wooden dowel.  Soapy water works good then rinse it then dry it off really good.

You did good.  You may encounter the "use the search feature"  sometimes but i don't mind questions.

Theres also something called a barrel swap that will make the job a bit easier.
