[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 2775603, member: 26820"] I used to hold generally the same opinion, and in the short term you are right. I learned eventually you will run into issues. Unless you use some of the really good chemicals, you'll likely have enough build up that accuracy will degrade. I also had a rifle that I never brushed develop the dreaded carbon ring. Here's a video of my dad's rifle. He cleans it after almost every trip to the range with bristles and Hoppes #9 and it still was really bad. (skip to the middle to see where it starts getting bad) [MEDIA=youtube]Z9nMXEJw4Ag[/MEDIA] I use nylon brushes every few cleanings. I don't like the bronze ones personally. [/QUOTE]
