[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1261800, member: 10178"] With the proper solvent you really don't need to use brushes these days. All I have been using for years cost maybe 2 cents. Have you got a weed eater? Take a piece of weed eater line about a foot longer than your barrel. Sharpen one end and with a flame melt the other end and press it against something like a coffee cup and form a button. You can cut/sand the button end to just fit inside your bore. With the sharp end stick it through the middle of a cloth patch and push the patch down to the button. Dip the patch into your solvent. Then stick the sharpened end into the chamber end of the barrel and push it through and out the muzzle then grab it and pull the patch through the bore and out. Let the solvent work for a few minutes then repeat with a dry patch or two and repeat with solvent if needed. You can clean any firearm from the chamber end like you should and not worry about harming the crown on the muzzle. You can wrap this cleaning line up and put it and a few patches with a little bottle of your favorite solvent in a zip lock bag and carry it with you when hunting just in case. You can poke mud out of the bore with this line. :rolleyes: Don't ask how I know. [/QUOTE]
