[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2169713, member: 605"] I do even less than that! I run a single patch of accelerator through the bore. Then spray in the foam cleaner letting it run out the muzzle and plug the chamber opening with a rag or patch. Let it sit overnight. One patch pushed through will move all sorts of gunk/copper out the muzzle. If I've done this on a regular basis I just run a dry patch or two and call it done. For a rifle with a questionable cleaning regimen I'll then run C4 a few strokes and see what comes out. If relatively clean I'll run a dry patch then a patch of Montana Extreme a few strokes. If those are clean I'll run a dry patch and call it clean. If I find it dirty with either C4 or ME I'll run more of those until it's clean. If I continue to get dirty patches I'll look through a bore scope and see if I find a problem area and focus there (usually the end of the chamber neck). Sometimes I'll skip the C4 and ME and just run CLR. [/QUOTE]
