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.
Re: Muzzle Brakes, clean or not.
Yes, you will need to clean your muzzle brake after 500-1000 rounds. There will be build up on the baffles that will need to be cleaned off.
I clean the inside of the barrel after a few hundred rounds as well. And when I do clean it, I only run a few patches through it. Look back through some old threads and there's lots of cleaning topics and discussions.

Re: Muzzle Brakes, clean or not.
some brakes with lots of little orifices like a vias and answer start to plug up w/carbon and powder residue forcing a decline in efficacy ......read more pronounced recoil......they then require a soak in some sort of carbon reducer to clear the holes.

Slip 2000, I just drop it in for about 10 minutes while Im doing something else. Works great on the copper and has not eaten durcoat or cerakote off of parts.

Re: Muzzle Brakes, clean or not.
I always take mine off to clean my rifles after a days shooting. So when I do, just drop it in a small container of solvent while I clean the rifle and they are good to go. Hassle free.
