[QUOTE="7stw, post: 356622, member: 22854"] Jim, very good and informative article and one of the ones that always gets my attention. Through the years I have owned many rifles, and almost lost one due to IMPROPER cleaning. I have long since used only fitted bore guides and DEWEY coated rods and jags. I must admit though the frequentcy issue gets me somtimes on different rifles as some need cleaning at closer intervals, and some at longer intervals. My regiment for break in has always been exactly as you mentioned earlier. The solvents I use are shooters choice, JB bore cleaner, and I use 7.62 remover to CHECK myself after cleaning, then thouroughly rinse out after, then finish with a coat of kroil. P/S; kroil breaks down carbon build up in barrels during short storage. I typically clean only as much that is needed to give me back that FEEL that I know is the guns sweet spot, but am sometimes amazed at how much or how little it takes to get you there versus how many times the gun has been fired. Do you feel that JB bore cleaner can ruin a barrel? I have heard some horror stories. When you use , or if you use it, how and how much ? I just read a article on Brownells website that was E mailed about his technique. What is yours? Thanks again:):)gun) [/QUOTE]
