I just built a new RRA CAR a4.  Im about to break in the barrell and wondering if I should use the boresnake or a standered brush/rod method. The barrell is crome-lined and I dont see any reason not to use the boresnake b/c I think it cleans really well.  but what do you guys think?  The only reason im asking is Im a little short on cash after buying the rifle and I dont have a brush/rod/jag, right now for a rifle, Ive only got one for a pistol..

I planned on spraying clp or hoppes #9 down the barrell and letting it sit for a min or two and then boresnake it like 3-5 times.. for a bout 10 singles then 5-2 shots and so..on and so forth.

treat crome-lined  just like any other barrel. Shoot like you stole it.
