cleaning

OK, I got in from the range with my new 10/22 and mk3. They shot great and it was too much fun, but when I sat down to clean them, I realized what a pain it is to get swabs in theat tiny hole. Any tips on what to use to make things any easier. The 40x has a long barrel and is going to be a...

Do you really have to clean you're brass every time it's shot is it necessary?

Hello After shooting my rifle there is always a buildup of carbon fouling on the crown and muzzle area I try scrubbing it with patches that I apply some Sweets 7.62 or other solvent but I can't get it off completely can you recommend me of a way to clean the muzzle end of the rifle without...

what do i do to clean cases without a tumbler?what do i use specifically please

I just picked up a used Rem 504T in great condition. Can anyone tell me who makes a bore guide for it? Or is it necessary to use one? Could I get away with a bore snake?

If I remember correct, I read somewhere that the best method is to use cigarette lighter fluid. I have been doing a lot of shooting lately in very powdery dirt and my trigger pull is now anywhere between 2-4 pounds from shot to shot. Any details or recommendations?

What types of products/techniques do you find most effective in removing dust, fingerprints etc without leaving scratches on the lenses? I always just use a rag or tissue but my scope appears slightly more blurry than it used to and it isn't my eye sight.

Does it really matter if you clean your bore after each shot during a break in period? I should have my scope mounted on my 10FP by next week. Brand new barrel, never shot. I got some Butch's Bore Shine today. Can I just use a .30 cal Boresnake that I already have. Is barrel break in BS?

what do I need for when I go shooting to break it in? I already have a dewey rod. just need to know what chemicals and solvents(brand names and titles would be appreciated) to get and what brushes I need. what procedures do you use? going shooting tomorrow and dont want to hurt barrel.

Is there a proper way to clean the gas tube on an AR? It seems that my ar is short stroking and not extracting the spent round. Thanks for any advice given. Kinnamon

I'd like some advise here. New Shilen 6mm cm barrel chambered in .243, headspaced and crowned by a local smith. The crown has burrs or a rough edge and appears to be unfinished. I'd like to lap the 90 degree edge of my crown with a 3/16" brass ball, chucked in a hand drill with lapping...

Would a person gain or not gain anything by running a cleaning patch through a suppressor? Just hated not to try and keep my stuff tip top. Thanks

..has to be about the scariest thing I've encountered while ever cleaning a rifle. It happened to me tonight, and I leave for a big hunt early in the morning. I'm ultra paranoid about keeping my rifle in good working order, but tonight i had a jag slip through the patch somehow and scrunch up...

Should the barrell be cleaned while it's hot or should you wait until it cools then clean it.

I shoot moly and always have. Lately ive been talking and reading and apparently I clean my rifle too often and too intensely. So my question is if Ive recently cleaned pretty much to the metal then fired 50 rounds of moly coated rounds, when and how should I next clean my rifle so as to leave...

How often are you using the bore brush if your patches come out dark on the first swipe and successively lighter on the following swipes with patches. In five passes with the patches, I'm really not getting any dirt. Are you using your brush at all or just using the patches? How often do...

This may seem like a stupid question to everyone, but I ask because I just don`t know... How do you clean your ar`s if you want to keep good accuracy? I know about bore guides and nylon brushes, but what is a mop for? I have never used one. now that I have a rifle I want to take care of, I...

Hey guys, sorry I'm bit of a newbie but I just had a quick question regarding how a cleaning rod acts whilst being pushed inside the bore. I have noticed with my only rifle (a .22-250) that when I run patches (pre-cut tetra-gun .22 cleaning strips) down the bore on a spear tipped jag, the rod...

Would it be a bad idea to use a cordless drill connected to a poly brush and rod to clean the inside of a bore? And if it is a bad idea, what damage could occur from it? Wesley
