How often should one clean the bore with a bore brush ? I heard that its not good to use a bore brush after each shoot just if the dirt and fouling is affecting the accuracy of the firearm.. Any thoughts ? thanks |
| Since I'm a poor college student, let's say I only shoot 100-200 rounds everytime I go shooting. I happen to think many people ruin their barrels by overcleaning (overscrubbing). Should I just take 1 or 2 passes with the brush if I shoot that many rounds per trip? |
You can't ruin a gun by over cleaning! A clean gun will last longer as it has less abrasive crud in it and instead is clean and oiled which means less wear. I scrub my bores till the patch comes out clean. This usually takes several dozzen passes with a brush both ways! over the last couple decades of scrubbing the heak out of my barrels none have been damaged by it in any way. |
