Easy Bore Cleaning

[Sabotloader]

Every once in awhile I get asked 'how I clean the bore' - well today while cleaning the ULite I thought I would take the opportunity to show what I am doing.

Nothing 'earth shaking' but certainly easy and quick for me...  And yet I know others probably have a method that is just as easy for them.  This is just something that works for me and I have gotten pretty good at it...

One thing I fail to mention in the picture - The 'Weasel' has been lightly oiled with Montana X-Treme Bore Conditioner - a very little bit of it goes a very long way...

 

After this ready to go shoot again or store in the safe...

You read my mind. You knew that would be my next question...

That was super helpful to this New Guy.  Thank You Sabot.

Ooops...I hit the Post box a bit too fast there.....Was wondering how many rounds you had through the gun before you cleaned it?   Just as a reference of dirtiness?

Thank's

I shot 15 shots the other day at the rock pit. But one other bit of information, because I want the bore in about the same condition every time I shoot I do run a slightly damp Windex patch after each shot. I do not have to run the patch I just feel it keeps things closer to equal...

Where can I buy one of those bore weasels at?  Got a link?  Also what gauge do you use, 20?

Thanks!

It's just a Bore Snake right?

I do not know ..I would rather use a patch

My procedure is exactly the same except for the last operation. Is the bore snake dry or lightly oiled?  I usually run a light oiled patch down and follow with a dry for storage. Never have a problem with corrosion or reliability for the next shooting session.

Very lightly oiled - I use Montana X-Treme Bore Conditioner

do you run that bronze brush section through the bore as well? Thats pretty hard on the bore coat and will scratch/remove it from a knights bore or any bore coated in bore coat.

 Sabotloader,    been using this same kind of set up in My Remington  700  for some time but only when I go hunting     works pretty well  I might Add . How ever I still will use the bucket and hot water during my regular  shooting events or when I am putting it away for a spell  like to give it a good all over cleaning  . Always nice to see this kind of stuff being passed around to folks  .
