I'm trying to get a perspective on this. There seems to be so many different philosophies on this subject, but I sometimes wonder if I'm being too aggressive with it. When I clean I use a Gunslick .30cal SS rod, bronze brush, brass jag, Proshot patches, Dewey rod guide, Shooter's Choice bore solvent and Slip2000 EWL. With all that this is what I do.
1: run two wet patches of SC and let it soak for about 30mins
2: wet the bronze brush in SC and run 10 passes through the barrel.
3: run another wet patch to remove the carbon
4: run 2 dry patches and alternate between 1wet and 2dry until the patches come out clean.
5: Visually inspect for any more fouling. Repeat 2-4 if necessary.
6: run two patches of EWL through barrel.
7: wipe the gun down inside and out. re-lube necessary parts.
8: Run a dry patch the next day to remove any excessive lube.
I live in a dry climate and A/C'd home so rust won't be a problem for me.
What are your procedure when you clean your bolt guns after a good day of shooting? What kinda products do you guys use?
