[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 178727, member: 22"] Garrett H., You sure like asking "those" questions don't you? ;^ ) These types of questions will start WWIII and you will get 10,000 different replies from shooters of how they do it. This has been covered in the past here on this site. So rather than typing everything over again I would recommend you do a search for "cleaning procedure" or cleaning techniques". The info you are asking about will be there. The only generalities I would add is this: - don't mix cleaning solvents. Use one solvent then dry the barrel if you switch brands. - alternate between cleaning out carbon and copper. One can hide the other - use a good bore guide and 1 pc cleaning rod. - the crown is fragile. Don't go pulling a cleaning rod or bore brush back through the crown at full speed. I will push a bore brush out of the muzzle, then slowly pull it backward intil the brush is fully engaged into the bore. Then speed up your back stroke. Some even go as far as not pulling anything back through the crown. Steve [/QUOTE]
