[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 59686, member: 2852"] My grandpa was taught in the army circa WWII how to clean a rifle. Their method then: swab gun oil down the barrel from the muzzle 5 times, then dry patch it out twice. If gun oil is low, then use soapy water! They also weren't trying to shoot 1/4 moa because they thought it impossible. Since that time, we have gotten much more knowledgable about this sport, but there still continues to be fellows who literally say, "Ah, the best way to clean a gun is to just shoot another shot and blow out all that copper!". Does it feel like we are reverting back to ignorance when we hear someone say this?? If you say "NO" then you probably don't believe in barrel break-in.
