[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1920493, member: 10755"] My comp gun barrels go a whole day(s) match without cleaning, this may be a weekend of 200 rounds or more. I only clean with a mild carbon cleaner until accuracy starts to wain, then clean copper. I clean the chamber often with a bore mop and carbon cleaner followed by a hydrocarbon based solvent, when using copper cleaners I follow with metho to dissolve any left in the bore then lightly oil. I have seen barrels ruined by over cleaning. I also don’t see an advantage to having a squeaky clean barrel all the time, it simply isn’t necessary for accuracy. If I have a barrel that won’t shoot to POA wth a clean barrel, and only with a foiled barrel, I normally send them down the road. Even a hunting rifle that ‘walks’ bullets is not staying in my gun safe. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
