Then you can see where things are at
And know if it needs copper and or carbon cleaning
That’s that
I don’t obsess. I see the changes over all the barrel lives I haveAnd you can obsess about the structure of the bore and worry about it.![]()
Depends on your level of intelligenceI've heard that if you use a bore scope things will look so bad you'll order a new barrel immediately
Me neither it seemsI'm not too smart that's why I ask questions
I also am a bit of a groupie, I may not follow everything he says, but I do try to follow the spirit of the lessons.The longer you leave it, the harder it will be to clean as continuing to shoot will harden the carbon that's already in there.
Ask @Frank Green who has posted on this exact subject.
I try to at least do a quick clean (with Eliminator) when I get home from a range trip of 40-60 rounds. If not, I def want to catch it before it gets much over 100 rounds.
I do quick cleans and deep cleans using JB Bore Paste (NOT Bore Bright) or Rem 40X. And I use Mr. Green's method that he has also posted here in detail. And yes, I'm a Frank Green groupie...I admit it (hahaha)...he just has the expertise and the experience that far exceeds pretty much any of the rest of us and he's very willing to share it.
And, if you ever spoke to him...he's a super nice guy. Its that Wisconsin stuff, I think....not like us river rats from the east coast! hahaI also am a bit of a groupie, I may not follow everything he says, but I do try to follow the spirit of the lessons.
