[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1626139, member: 2736"] Here is an earlier post that explains my process and position on cleaning the bore. This has come up many times and after being called a politician (Just kidding DMP) I thought I would give my thoughts on the subject one more time. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/cleaning-frequency.183659/page-2#post-1290120[/URL] There are many reasons i do things the way I do, and none are from hearing something on the internet. I do try some of the things I hear about to see if they have a point and evaluate them by testing. and come to my own conclusion. All things that can improve barrel life, accuracy, consistency and even piece of mind are considered and if I see a marked improvement in any one of these things, then it becomes the routine until something else comes along that improves something even more. Besides all of the things that have proven there value in all things that interest me, pride is a side effect and not doing a cleaning when necessary for the service/use of the weapon is just not in my makeup. Sometimes I don't feel like cleaning but feel like I am just being lazy and give in, and treat the weapon like it should be treated if I want the best it has. As stated earlier, I have repaired and re barreled many weapons that would have otherwise been Ok if the owner would have done some maintenance and some cleaning. So take it for what its worth and clean like you want, but live with the consequences of your decision. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
