[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1133598, member: 51405"] I use KG-1 for carbon with a nylon brush...I wet the barrel with a couple of patches, then a dozen or so strokes, then run KG-3 on some patches, then dry patches til fairly clean, then do it one more time and dry patches til clean. I then use Holland's Witches brew...a nylon brush if I want some copper out. or a bronze brush if I want to get it all. Similar drill as above. Then Holland's bore lube to finish it up. For copper I look in the barrel with a flashlight...I can see the last several inches and that is my guide as to how clean it is. A scope would be better but hard to justify $$ for a good one. A copper brush has many of the advantages as the steel brush without being harmful to the barrel. Sounds like you are focusing on nylon or stainless but not considering bronze...I know that what you put on the barrel will slowly eat the bronze brush, but have you considered bronze brushes?
