[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1590393, member: 78056"] Whirlwind, Having talked to Dan Lilja specifically this point (and other barrel makers as well) they all recommend that you do not ever put anything with teflon in it down your barrel. Plain Rem oil or something similar is ok but no teflon. As I've never put it down any of my barrels, I can't say but it's supposed to adversely affect accuracy. I do use Breakfree on everything else, just not in the barrel. I will have to disagree with having to scrub your barrel clean. The chemicals available today have virtually eliminated that chore from the "old days." Products such as Wipe Out, Montana Xtreme Copper Killer, CR-10, Bore Tech and Hoppe's Elite no longer need to be scrubbed. Coat a patch, run it through your barrel, let it sit for the recommended time, then a dry patch and repeat until you're down to nice shiny bare metal. Protect as necessary to prevent rust. Unless you're shooting plain lead bullets, scrubbing is a thing if the past. I do run some Hoppe's #9 first to clean the loose junk out of my barrels but mostly because I have a gallon of the stuff laying around! This is nice point in time to be a shooter, no more stinking up the entire house with Hoppes #9 and going thru 40 patches and a bronze brush trying to get the barrel clean! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
