Man don't worry about trolls and folks that try to act like they know it all, especially when they are doing it in a degrading way. You do good work, and always try to share your knowledge with us for free. Thank you for your videos and as for what I have found Hoppe's 9 still works just fine but I will admit I am becoming a huge fan of Boretech's products. For the folks new to shooting, their are 100's if not 1000's of cleaning products out their, everyone finds what works for them and passes it on just don't get too caught up in the countless ways people can talk you into spending more of your money to get the results you can from stuff that has been around for years. Stay away from the harsh stuff, while it does work in the hands of professionals it can cause major damage to your barrels if not used properly.

Carb cleaner and bore snake, I'm 62 and got my first at 9. I have it and 13 others, it works 💪

[@buckshotaaa]

Thank you for your clear and concise presentation on cleaning. Every brick or so i address the carbon ring with Boretech C4 carbon cleaner, i soak a mop and let it dwell just forward of the chamber and leave it there for 20 minutes. That loosens the carbon real good, then nylon brush it out. I push the residual product out through the muzzle with a patch and that's pretty much job done.

I haven’t ran anything but Break Free and a bore snake through my Bergara B14r since I got it a few months ago until an older buddy of mine asked if I was using the same bore snake every time. He told me that the boresnake get dirtier the more you use it. That’s why you listen to old guys. I ordered a bore guide (Tipton crap universal) reordered a Possum Hollow bore guide, rod, patches and Boretech Rimfire Blend and after a dozen patches or so my bore is clean. Thanks, I enjoy your videos

Hi, an interesting video, but I would normally put my scope caps on to protect the lenses from any loose gunk or cleaner and it will stop the ocular lens from being accidentally stabbed by the jag on the cleaning rod. Thank you for your videos.

Great. Thanks for watching!

[@shauno7582]

I clean my Lithgow LA101 .22lr every 500 rounds. Just dry patch out the bore until patch is clean ( never pushing jag completely out, just enough for the patch to fall off ), the action/receiver/bore entrance a light scrub with clean brush then wipe a patch that is slightly oiled up in and around. Bolt gets a clean every 250 rounds. Bolt face, ejector/extractor pins light scrub to remove gummed up carbon etc. might get a run through ultrasonic cleaner pending how dirty. Then lightly re oil once completely dried. Never had an issue after 10000 rounds since brand new, shoots 1 inch- 1/2 inch 5shot groups at 50m with its favourite ammo! 😊

[@pauldeahl3980]

Nylon bore brushes are simply a waste of time. Bronze brushes are safe just make sure the center twisted wire section is also bronze material and the end is rounded.

[@dennisl4000]

Well done, informative, and enjoyable.

i clean my 452 and 455 after every shoot so it is never to hard to clean once every maybe 10 rounds i use bronze brush deep in oil before i start mi routine cleaning never let the brush or jag pass the crown of the barrel. it work for me . Thank for the video

[@yamaharider8014]

I never thought that using a brass brush in the bore would be bad, bc the steel is much harder. However, airgunners only use nylon brushes. On the AEAC airgun KZbin channel, Steve uses a nylon line like from a weed whacker, and just pulls patches thru the bore with it. It comes in a kit and will handle .177--shotgun bores. I guess airgun barrels are more susceptible to damage...👍😺

[@jaychapman6448]

Father of an old girlfriend of mine was a gunsmith - he took twine and tied it around a patch and pulled the patches through. He'd been doing it that way for 50 years.

[@kevinclark8782]

It won't hard carbon can scratch a barrel whether in a nylon brush or a copper one.

[@DLN-ix6vf]

maybe give us a vid. on a semi-auto .22 Ruger 10/22 if you can ?

[@eb1684]

The great Jack O'Conner recommended cleaning a .22 rimfire bore once a year. And we know how much shooting he did! The coating on the bullets protects the bore. I'll go with him.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Why is it ok to use copper brushes on center fire, but not .22? What is the difference? Not being a dick, just honestly wondering.

[@AirGunVic]

Copper brushes are fine. Damage is caused by being too vigorous with the cleaning rod around the crown, and especially with segmented metal rods. I cleaned 3 Anschutz target rifles with causing any damage. There's a KZbin video that demonstrates that copper brushes are perfectly save. The demonstration is performed with a wire brush driven by a power tool. They then go through the barrel with a bore scope to show that the bore effectively got polished without damage. Just avoid being too vigorous around the crown.

[@mmgee]

I’ve never used a bore brush on a RF. CLP and patchs only. I’ve never had a carbon ring, I patch out at the end of every session 😊

[@googleeyeseyes4033]

Steel I completely understand, but soft copper harms the barrel, the physics don’t jive, what about copper wash or frag, what about solid copper in centerfire? I think all of this is perfect, except for the copper destroying a barrel.

[@luiscavazos8026]

I started a new process.. that I'm trying.. Some of the guys at the range don't clean their rifles.. they shoot Br50 alot.. I started by using qtip only with clp in the chamber.. let soak for a few minutes.. take another qtip and clean in chamber only as best as possible.. then I run two dry patches down the barrel to get some of the build up out .. im thinking the smallest amount of clp will go down the barrel with the patch from the chamber.. the barrel looks fairly clean after two patches.. im trying to see if I can keep it seasoned from some of bullet lube.. my original cleaning process is very close to yours.. I had one of my best shooting sessions at the 100yds today.. im trying to keep that same accuracy as best as I can...

cool sounds good. Thanks for watching.

[@bengerman9736]

I'm a first-time handgun owner with a sig 1911 22lr. My question is my bore looks clean and shiny but I can't see any pronounced rifling just a hint of what might have been at one time. I was wondering if it's a lead problem or just micro rifling?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

honestly I'm not sure. I would definitely ask that question to a qualified gunsmith though. Maybe take it to them and show them in person. Sorry I can't be of more help. Thanks for watching.

[@Auriam]

Could be polygonal rifling where the bore itself is shaped like a hexagon and the rifling is very subtle, you won't see deep grooves like in older guns.

[@royd7984]

Nice video and rifle. What suppressor do you use?. Also, I like your stock. Thanks! All the best!

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

[@jasonrenaud]

I was going to mention something about how quiet it was. Mine is loud guess I know why now XD

[@petermiller8634]

You failed to mention an important aspect of cleaning a 22 rimfire is that they have a .223” bore as opposed to a 22 centrefire which has a .224” bore. This means that a normal .22 cleaning rod will scrape inside the bore of a .22 rimfire barrel causing wear to the rifling. Better to use a .20 calibre one piece cleaning rod (I like proshot) & a doubled over cotton patch for a moderately tight fit in the barrel. Also brass is softer than steel & won’t harm a rimfires steel barrel. Airguns use softer steel & only nylon brushes should be used in them.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

You are correct, I did fail to mention that. Thanks.

[@TheDude1764]

Glad to see this info mentioned in the comments. I agree, Mr. Miller. And I enjoyed the video very much.

[@CharlieMikeNS]

Thoughts on the Hoppe's boresnake vipers?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I'm personally not a huge fan of the boresnake for precision rifles, but I also don't have a scientific or tested reason for my claim. I have only heard second hand stories about them damaging barrels. I do use boresnakes on my AR rifles though. LOL take it or leave it.

[@roywarner6007]

Thanks for your video. What bore guide to you have or lost? I am in the market to buy one for my 22LR and at the last minute found out that the Tipton Rapid bore guide that I was going to buy wont work for a 22LR Rimfire

Tipton or Hoppes universal type. Can't remember which off hand. Midway is where I got it I think.

[@dannydowell9979]

Can a person use a 22 bore snake?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Yes a person can. The issue is that for precision, these rifles need to actually get clean.

[@jerryking3208]

Bronze brush is a no no? Every cleaning kit includes one. Can Flitz be used as a clean/lapping compound? 73 and still learning. Thanks.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Steel brush is bad. Bronze is better, but anything metallic can damage the crown of the barrel. Best choice is nylon. There’s simply no need to completely scrub these rifle parts to the point they are perfectly clean.

[@mikevee7229]

When I first got into firearms, I’d clean after every range trip. Being a noob I didn’t want to use a bronze brush because I felt that it was to abrasive on the barrel, so I’d only use nylon bore brushes. After about 600rds I began to notice something in the barrel, it looked like it was pitted, but whenever I ran a patch through it would be black. Finally, I said fcuk it and just used a bronze bore brush, and all that pitting came out(it was carbon build up). Only time I use a nylon brush now is just for running an oiled patch down the bore(last step). Great videos I enjoy them👍🏿👍🏿

Does it get dirty faster if you shoot with a suppressor?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I would say the muzzle end gets more carbon built up on it. With the bolt action, I haven't noticed much more getting back into the action. A gas gun definitely gets more dirty with a suppressor.

[@rodom2121]

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

@@rodom2121 Thanks! I suppose the copper plated ones would build up eventually. I've literally only used the lead nose rounds so I didn't even think about it. In that case, then it wouldn't hurt at all to use a copper cleaner as well.

I know that lead can build up too, so using a lead/copper cleaner infrequently would be in order. That stuff is aggressive, so when I used it, I flushed it out immediately after...👍😺

Hey Joel. Just a generic comment saying you're doing everything wrong. Joking aside it's pretty much the same for me on all my guns.
