[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2321643, member: 93138"] Rarely use a brush any more as well. Solvents and patches. Brushes reserved for problems, not normal cleaning. I doubt that you're going to do damage to the bore itself pulling a brush muzzle to breach, but why risk it? I view it as like trying to cut wood going against the grain. That said, the real issue with pulling anything back from the muzzle is alignment at the start. Some rifles can't easily be cleaned from the breach (M1A/M14's & Garand's come to mind), note the special tool used on those to avoid wearing the crown eccentrically. The difference between a good crown and a bad one can be pretty tiny. If you're going to clean muzzle to breach then use one of those tools. [/QUOTE]
