[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 587381, member: 4885"] You should be fine. The aluminum is softer than the barrel steel, assuming you didn't pound on it with a hammer, you shouldn't spend any time worrying about your barrel. BUT, go purchase a one piece cleaning rod and bore guide (look at Dewey rods as an example). Use a good coated rod, I've been told that a bare aluminum rod will pick up grit and can scuff the barrel as you clean. So, use a good coated rod of the correct diameter, so the flex is limited. And use a good bore guide. AJ [/QUOTE]
