I don’t know you, friend, and I have no beef with you at all.
But if I have to choose between Mr. Green and you, I’m going with Frank.
Now I followed that thread as it developed but don’t have it memorized. My impression is that Frank had issues w abrasives on brushes….not issues w abrasives in general and properly used.
Specifically, he strongly recommends using them sparingly and using a mild abrasives (mon a patch wrapped around a Parker Hale style jag and running it back and forth 10-15 time without letting it exit the muzzle and then working over the throat area a bit.
The issue he had, if I recall correctly, was abrasives on a brush.
@AustinCar32 -fyi.
