First post on the hide in many years
I've been asked about, and explained my cleaning method more times than I can count so I finally made this video about it.
The video isn't necessary to explain the cleaning method, it's just 2 cycles of 30 strokes with a tight fitting patch of gray/blue JB bore paste on a jag. The real reason for the video is explaining WHY I've converged on this cleaning method, after years of experience doing life-cycle tests on barrels and competing in Palma, FTR and ELR.
In addition to cleaning the barrel, abrasives also smooth it. This smoothing is a major hedge against bullet failures so if that's happening to you, or you're concerned about it, maintaining your barrels with abrasive cleaning can mitigate the failure issue.
Take care,
