Cleaning / Wife Out

[BurtG]

How clean do you clean your barrels

These 2 have set for (3) 24 hour periods soaked with wipe out. With 6 patches wet with patch out at the end of each 24 hour period.

Still getting a slight bit of blue but maybe it’s from suppressor brake mount ?

After the first patch the rest are clean

From the title of the thread I was expecting something totally different...

 

[Nik H]

Me too

 

[Im2bent]

Yeah I am disappoint.

What is the jag made of? If un-plated brass it may be the source.

It’s silver from bore tech so I don’t think so.

On that note Bore Tech is the best stuff I’ve used

It’s hard to express how utterly disappointed I am in this thread.

I love wipe out Burt... Borescope it and see if any copper is left. I usually pull my brakes off to avoid false positives.... that is, when I actually clean my barrels

 

[strikeeagle1]

I was hoping for the OP to publicly air some saucey related Wife-out-the-door story of sort; guess it was "wipe-out" intended for the thread title.

 

[FredHammer]

With the wife out and pure armory time to yourself I imagined nakedness, clothes pins on the nipples, cowboy hat, and building something fucking sweet! Or am I the only one?

 

[Hecouldgoalltheway]

I was going to suggest bleach before I realized that the issue was with a gun.

Nah, fuck it, I'm sticking with bleach. Use bleach

 

[Taylorbok]

Teslong bore scope is your friend. Then you can see how clean it is. When I used to clean based on the patches that would have been good enough for me.

 

[TheGerman]

So what you're saying is, your wife is dirty?

 

[Bigfatcock]

I heard CLR is the new thang?

Pretty much what everyone expected:

I was going to suggest he call you and than I get this shit.

If OP keeps at it I’m sure he will be the first guy to ever push a groove out of the barrel…..have you seen this dudes farm posts?

I am impressed with the patch though.

I don’t even wipe that clean which is why I have a no shitting unless immediately followed by the shower rule.

I think you are good Burt.
Any further action on your part risks some sort of random damage or breakage.

Or you could just use a wrench and socket......

Tell us more about how your boyfriend works on your vehicles for you

 

[Taylorbok]

Or you could just use a wrench and socket......

I’m sure he didn’t try that… The bolt is seized dude.

 

[Im2bent]

Jesus christ it was an attempt at a lame ass joke.

 

[FredHammer]

Like, the letter F and P aren't even close on the keyboard!

 

[JoshPutman]

I always heard the go to was vinegar and water.

 

[Taylorbok]

I definitely missed that. Carry on.

I never had much luck getting barrels clean relying on the patch and what it looked like. The borescope is a lot better. Once I say how not cleaned they were I began the quest to get then clean without wrecking them. I will use clr but I don't leave it in the barrel and I make sure I get it all out and I make sure I don't get it anywhere else. I use these little droppers I got on Amazon.

The clr is a good start but then I use Casey foaming gel borescrubber with a nylon brush if I really want it clean. I'm not going to use a bronze brush ever nor do I need to. That foaming gel works really well with about 10-20 strokes. Then hop#9 to clean everything out of the bore

 

[Makinchips208]

Based on the title I was scared to open this thread…
@BurtG seeing how you use windex on a rifle, I would go ahead and use windex on the wife as well. Yes, the one with ammonia.

 

[JerkyFreak]

I'm not going to use a bronze brush ever nor do I need to.

Why not?

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Why not?

Don't want to mess my barrel up. Nylon works with the foaming gel and gets it really clean, no reason to risk anything with a bronze brush

Further action like this ?

Make slot in cleaning rod, put in sawzall, cut patch of 80 grit paper, go to town. Problem solved.
