clean

Hope this is not a stupid question but who out there cleans their muzzle brake on a 308.Is it necessary? The reason I ask is that some guys never clean their rifles either or only after hundreds of rounds when they say accuracy declines. Thanks.

After break in the Rifle barrels I normally shoot till i feel its dirty or my groups open up Which use to mean if the rifle didnt get dirty or wet. on the first range trip it would get put away till next range trip and maybe not cleaned till end 2 or 3 trip. some range trips might only be 5...

Hiders, The question pretty much asks it all. I love the FAL platform but still haven't mastered the cleaning of the gas tube. Do you use a bore snake, rod and patch (give jag and patch size here) or some other way to clean the gas tube?? I could ask this question at the Fal Files but...

A buddy and I are in a debate, He never cleans his guns even after hundreds of rounds, he says it will affect accuracy, I say it will only affect the first round! He dosnt think it will affect barrel life by cleaning, I say it will extend barrel life and keep accuracy longer. I was told powder...

What do you guys use for trumbler/media/cleaning solution. Any pictures of before and after cleaning?

I often find that instead of using a gun stand, it's easier to just vise the barrel for cleaning or tweaking the action. Here's a pic of my bench. http://takdriver.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44

a co-worker of mine recently purchased a tikka t3 lite in 223 rem he did a initial cleaning and took it to the range to do a barrel break in after the barrel had a full break in he fired 30 shots and then started to clean it so he could pack up and go home for the day but patch after patch came...

I've heard very negative things can happen when you tumble loaded rounds. Not from them "going off" in the tumbler, but because the tumbling action can act as a mill and change the powder, instead of a rod powder you can end up with a fine ball dust powder adn the burn rate is extremely high...

A real hunter at work!

I have recently gotten my 2 SAS cans. A titanium .30 and a s/s .338. Any idea how to clean and how often?

OK guys I have done a lot of research on the web about this subject. I go to the range about 2 times a week. I shoot my Springfield XD9, Walther P22, Ruger 1022, Benelli Nova 12ga (skeet), and the Remington 700 SPS Tactical. Typically I will put about 25 rounds through the 9, 25-50 through the...

Just wondering how often your cleaning frequency is for the internals of a bolt, on a bolt actuated rifle? You know, the firing pin, the channel it resides in, etc.
