We like the Dewey coated rods, a good bore guide, copper/bronze brushes and cotton flannel patches, the appropriate size to keep that jag and rod
in the middle of the bore. When cleaning, the brush or jag should only travel through the barrel from the breech to the muzzle, the same as the
path of the bullet. Do not ever pull a brush or jag back through the crown of the barrel. You will need a good carbon solvent, like KG 1. Shooters
Choice or CR-10 will chemically loosen the copper fouling, but KG 2 is found to remove the copper without the use of chemical solvents which
may attack barrel steel. After cleaning with chemical solvents, neutralize the solvents with denatured alcohol or oil and patch dry. If using KG 2
or any other micro abrasive product, use KG 3 solvent to flush out the bore, spraying from the breech with muzzle end down. Always finish with
Tetra Gun Oil or KG 4. Never shoot a dry bore (chemically stripped) as this will greatly promote copper fouling. Clean
the chamber with a cloth chamber mop, not a GI chamber brush.
