cleaning your pipe !

[coachcw]

So I'm  anal but only cleaning breech to muzzle never running a rod down the barrel. What are you fanatics think about pulling bore snakes down your baby's ?

[WARHORSE]

[Ccortez]

Use whatever gives you a happy ending

I use a one peace carbon fiber rod.   I've used bore snakes before but I don't feel that they do much.  I only clean when accuracy sluffs off so a bore snake will not do the job when it's time

[TheHunt]

carbon fiber or plastic coated is what I use. 

[carpsniperg2]

I use bore snakes in all my AR's. I just point the muzzle at the ground and feed the snake down the chamber. I never clean anything towards the muzzle.

I run a free spinning carbon rod or a coated rod on all of my bolt guns. The snakes can be a little to aggressive for light cleaning.

I use a snake after a range session to knock the large stuff out, one or two passes is plenty. I only use the rods when I'm doing a deep cleaning which only happens when I'm putting a gun up for a while or the groups open up (which isn't normally an issue on a hunting rifle).

Great so far. Can't Wait for hunting season to see how it handles

[jrebel]

I'm a huge fan of the Otis cleaning kit.  Works well, easy to use, no rods, and quick.   

[Eli346]

 I use bore snakes a lot and like them. I also use rods and brushes when doing a thorough cleaning at the end of the year or after a real nasty hunt, always cleaning towards the muzzle.

[coachcw]

When breaking in a barrel I copper clean it every three to five shots.

[jay.sharkbait]

I rarely clean my rifles.

But when I do, I use a bore snake from breech to muzzle.

What's a bore snake?
