Absolutely no damage at all. Brass is very soft and hard chrome has a Rockwell hardness of 70, so the brass won't even scratch it.

Thanks for the help ! When I google it I see a lot of conflicting information regarding barrel crowns.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks for the help ! When I google it I see a lot of conflicting information regarding barrel crowns. Someone would really have to not give a poop to screw up a crown or chamber.... don't get me wrong... Lol, we all have read some stupid stuff over the years. I can happen, but a one time instance, like you described, shouldn't have caused any damage. Even If you had haphazardly used a USGI steel sectional rod from the muzzle end, once... even then I would tell you don't do that. But no to worry. If you were using that same steel USGI sectional cleaning rod... and inserting it from the muzzle, that would be far different. FWIW... get a https://deweyrods.com/product/m-16ar-15-muzzle-guide/ ... it should fit your BCM muzzle device. And for the proper breach end cleaning... I am partial to the ProShot Bore Guide.. https://www.proshotproducts.com/AR-Style-Bore-Guide-for-556mm223-Cal_p_555.html |

Quoted: I got a cleaning cloth lodged in the chamber of my BCM BFH upper, and initially tried to hook it and pull it out of the chamber. I was very careful, but there is the potential the hook touched the walls of the chamber. Ultimately that did not work, so I inserted a sectioned brass rod from the muzzle end to dislodge it. When the brass rod entered the muzzle, it did lightly slide over the crown, but I was careful not the slide the length of the rod against the crown on the way in. Would either of these things be enough to damage my rifle’s accuracy ? I am very protective of my rifle because it is my first one of quality. |

Any one who uses a sectioned rod from the muzzle doesn't give a hoot about the barrel crown.

Your brass cleaning will not damage a chrome lined steel barrel
