[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 150155, member: 8"] All right now that we have finshed with the jokes I would mention a couple of points. If you think about it you will realize that when the gun is fired the copper jacketed bullet goes down the barrel followed by the burning powder. Thus the copper is laid down followed by carbon and this layering is repeated each time you shoot. The layering is not equal in all parts of the barrel. Most of the bullet squeezing to fit the bore is done in the first inch or so of the barrel and most of the powder burning is done in the same area. Thus it is my opinion that you clean with those two point in mind. The throat is dirtiest and it is layered. So I alternate cleaning solutions but do not mix them. Use a good new brush to clean the throat but run it all the way through to out the muzzle and then bring it back. These brass/bronze brushes wear out quickly so be prepared to buy a good supply. A Bore guide such as Stoney Point to keep your rod lined up and goo out of your action A high quality one piece rod for cleaning at home. A bottle of copper solvent cleaning fluid. A bottle of powder solvent cleaning fluid. Lots of brushes. Lots of patches. The other thing I do is to build one of Goodgrouper's anti spill devices. I take piece of a 2X4 and using a hole saw cut through it holes the size of my cleaning solvent bottles. I then take a piece of 1x6 or so and glue it on the bottom of the 2X4. This makes a little stand that holds my bottles upright and supports them so they don't fall over. [/QUOTE]
