I learned a ton of great cleaning practices I was never taught. Really appreciate this. I look forward to looking @ my wife's 270 Winchester which has probably never been cleaned in 30 years. Embarrassed to admit but @ least I enjoy how to learn what is required to keep things like new going forward. Thanks a bunch. Be blessed.

Extremely useful information. Thanks for taking the time to share. I also found that Ballistol is enough to clean my guns after only a few rounds. I spray it on a bore snake and run it a few times. However, I think I may try your process and see if works for me.

I'm new to your channel as a subscriber and I'm happy for it. I've been shooting for over 50 years and learned through trial and error the "proper" way to clean a rifle, much as you've shown in this video. I used to clean my bore after EVERY shooting session down to the base metal of the bore and learned that, depending on the rifle, i could take significant rounds fired to where it settled in and accuracy resumed, which wasted my time, wasted shots on long range vermin, and wasted otherwise precious rounds. Then I experimented with cleaning much as you describe herein, removing only the serious "crud" in the chamber/bore in the means of carbon, and found that my rifle would maintain cold bore first rounds FAR more frequently and accurately. What an eye opener it was and now I try to pass along this philosophy towards cleaning to others who want to shoot long ranges, whether at a target, to eliminate vermin that is crop destructive for a rancher, or larger game, assuming they have the talent and appropriate caliber to assure a humane harvesting of a game animal so it doesn't suffer unduly. As I am certainly not a media personality such as yourself with large KZbin following, I feel somewhat vindicated by your offering here and will reference this video to those seeking to learn a better way of cleaning their precision rifles. Thanks for all you do to both entertain and inform us, Sir.

When I was a teen with my first centerfire rifle I knew nothing about "cleaning" a barrel , I merely ran an oily patch's down the barrel and it worked fine . Think I'll change my cleaning regime now , back to the KISS method . Thanks for taking the time to post these video's Mark/Sam ...

I know most people have their own process & this has enlightened me so much...my grandfather had a similar process of not brushing but lightly cleaning the carbon out. It never dawned on me the importance of leaving copper n the barrel. With one of my grandfathers rifles...I knew that it had sit for many yrs & I was planning on a thorough cleaning before shooting. But, after an inspection...he had left a light coat of lubricant of some sort, to which I took a dampened mop to pull the old lubricant out. After a little wondering what I should do before shooting...I basically said forget it & went out to shoot. Amazingly, it shot very well & accurate. I didn't do an aggressive cleaning when putting it up but believe it will b as good as if I had cleaned it very thoroughly. So informative, & thanks for Ur knowledge shared.

You’ve got everything exactly right. I still use sweets for copper when initially breaking in the bore 15-20 shots. But then I don’t any further. I’ll look through my records because there are modern stock makers using magnets for quick removal of the comb, but do not affect the zero when replaced. It’s a three stud system. Two on each end like yours, with a threaded center adjustment that has fairly strong magnets holding it in place. I’m sure you understand what I’m describing. It’s a fairly recent design and it’s brilliant. The 1000 yard competition shooters over here love it.

I might just add, if the rifle is new, and particularly a mass production type, I use patches and solvent to get manufacturing residue out before shooting it for the first time. I have had some that gave me a clean patch after say 5 patches, but I had one that took more than a dozen patches, I am not sure why it was so dirty, but I was glad to have it super clean before the first shot, and it shoots well enough now. I also don't clean my barrels as often as some, because I try to shoot each rifle quite regularly, just so they don't get lonely. I have a few sentimental rifles, that is to say I don't shoot too often, they are cleaned and oiled before storage. Great tips in this video, thanks for sharing!

with my K31 i used to pull thru a bore snake, right after shooting when the barrel is still warm. Then when i get home, i would put a few patches greased with the swiss "automatenfett", and leave the barrel greased untill the next outing to the range, then just before shooting, a few clean patches thru untill they're reasonable clean. Work like a charm, the swiss swear by it, and it does work.

Excellent explanation and a very relevant one to me. Learning to clean firearms, i sought out the most knowledgable shooters at the time and all were of the opinion you had to thoroughly clean every speck of copper and carbon from the barrel to be any good. Qver the years i have slowly but surely come around to your aspect of looking at this process, as every time i gave my hunting rifles a good clean before a trip, i had to go sight in my rifles again as they would group like crap until you put a few shots through them again. Amazing what us old dogs can learn every now and then. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and re enforcing what i thought to be true.

excellent advice, i think copper equilibrium is the ideal focus if you want to keep your rifle shooting consistently over time. this is especially important for those who want their dope for long range to be consistent long term, and if you want to be able to make cold bore shots. i have had good results with the otis memory flex cables.. which i think is a good option for cleaning in the field and when your setup does not allow pushing a rod from the chamber forward.. you can still feed the cable through the action and avoid cleaning from the muzzle end of the bore. i also never use any solvents, i use a non-toxic CLP made in my home state, called "weapon shield" and it works great in my experience. keeps a thin film on everything, which makes removing fouling / carbon very quick and easy. first thing i do when getting a new firearm is removing whatever oil is on it, and coating it with my CLP, it makes a huge difference in ease of cleaning.

I agree with not touching the copper fowling, if there isn't any issue. I use a very similar cleaning routine. However, whenever I change bullet type -and by that I mean especially changes to mantle material or bullet construction-, I will do a thorough chemical cleaning removing the copper fowling. Especially when changing to solid machined bullets, I have found that previous fowling can fool me while judging the precision of the new bullet. Fowling from previous bullets might behave differently with a new bullet type, get eroded, rebuilt, rearranged ...whatever -I don't really know. But I have had horrible groups tightening up quickly, as well as initial groups that weren't too bad at all, to after a handful of shots suddenly open up (maybe only for a few shots). When doing a proper chemical cleaning of the barrel beforehand, I know that I have to expect a few fowling shots not showing the best precision, but after that, the groups should be what bullet and barrel can achieve in combination.

Thanks for letting us know your process, and yes if dealing with issues you have to take those sort of steps, I largely try to leave barrel in running mode, carbon and all, just very light clean for loose power residue etc, works well, but we largely run the same bullets, most the time. And yes with issues, you have adapt, Cheers

Something I haven’t heard mentioned is that a barrel that has lost accuracy can sometimes be saved by recutting the crown. A gunsmith can usually tell by inspection if this will help. I look at them with a microscope.

I used to do the full copper cleaning, and the works way too much. Now I just clean the carbon out, with oil. Either ballistol, or Kroil. Then the same with a coat of oil. But I like my milsurps, and I had a mauser that was just full of crud. And wouldn't shoot worth a carp. Someone on my hunting board suggested JB's. And wow, that stuff cleaned it right up. With a pre soak of Kroil and it went from shooting 3-4 moa, 1.5ish moa. That's great stuff if you got an extremely dirty barrel.

I,m a bit late watching this one , my mate has rigged up in his gun safe a bracket where he can store the rifles barrel down without having the crown sitting on the base of the safe, he reasons that he doesn't want any excess oil reentering the chamber. I was a big sceptical especially considering you only want to leave a thin film remaining in the barrel i was wondering what your thoughts were in regards to this ? Great work Sam and Mark really informative and clearly explained, i don't watch any other Gun related clips these days except yours. Keep up the great work and all the best for the Crissy break.

With these Precision rifles there should not be excess oil, the thin film is more like the trace of oil, but anything to look after things is generally a good idea, so good on him. Mine stand up in the gun safe like normal and I do not have any problems, but maybe in a moister environment where corrosion is an issue his way would work better, Cheers

Where you live a black steel fence post lasts a lifetime or two . On the coast they rust out in 8 to 9 years. Not trying to be a smart ass , just pointing out where you live has a lot to do with how much protection a rifle in storage needs from corrosion . Cheers

Mark, do you ever come into a situation…. That you can’t clean your rifle for …6 or 7 days? And if so…do you use the same procedure as before??? Thanks again
@markandsamafterwork
@markandsamafterwork 7 жыл бұрын
No I don't not do that, if I have time to shoot, I have time to clean, as said, sometimes only a quick clean, but always if I shoot, I clean!!

With my ELR rifles I always take the basics for cleaning with me, that is only if I want to shoot, but as said if your rifle already shoots 1/4 moa and you have no cleaning issues, stay doing what you are doing. This is just how I do it, no clean no shoot. Other than that, with other rifles/firearms or even with an old dirty rifle, it is a case of seeing what it needs, try a good soak and clean and then look, and go from there, can be very different depending on what you have there, and brushes, snakes, solvents can all be needed, just depends.

Your right Mark, I always clean after shooting when the bore is warm "The Same"..and a light coat oil..Then before shooting next..run a solvent patch and then dry patch... Never over cleaning the bore to keep a equilibrium of copper....Not saying this the right way, but I have OCD my granddaughter think! Thanks Mark

I use it on handguns like my xdm and revolvers too but I'm worried to try it on a precision barrel - are you still getting the same accuracy after using it on your long range precsion rifles

I don't have any long range precision rifles. I'm more of a plinker, but what I like about it is the long term protection and minimal cleaning.

Mark , once you clean it ,,,, you yellow paste was to stoe it ! NEVER , NEVER oil a gun barrel . It will cause a carbon deposit . I store mine WAXED , In a pinch the wax will blow rite out not hurting anything
