There have been a few posts about fire lapping and cleaning. I read something about not pushing the rod all the way through as not to make contact with the crown. How can you do this with a brush as you are not supposed to change direction with a brush while inside the barrel? Does this apply to handgun barrels as well? |

It is total BS that you should not go all the way through and out touching the crown. I have cleaned going all the way in and out with a brush and a Dewey rod(like 20 passes each way). Using a good coated rod and brass accesories it is impossible to damage the crown. I have cleaned my rifels every week for 2 decades like this and they all group like new (1 MOA or better). Have no fear and scrub away! This is a myth that will not die! |
The whole barrel break in thing walks such a fine line between truth and fiction anyway but I remembered hearing something about that (not exiting the bbl all the way) a long time ago.
