Well I guess my age is showing too, but the wet brush definitely saves time for me.MoJo wrote:I'm an old dinosaur I've been shooting for 60+ years, using a wet bore brush was a common practice years ago.

I bought a Rock River match stainless barreled upper a while back. They told me there is no break in procedure, just start shooting and enjoy it. Barrel break procedures vary widely. I would think a using a bore snake every so many rounds at first would be the easiest thing to do and would effectively remove any debris from the barrel if needed. I think it all depends on how they make the barrel and how it is treated afterward. I think there are things they can do to the barrels now that effectively remove the sharp edges and such that a break-in might take care of.

Re: Bore cleaning on ar
A Boresnake in the right size is really handy for that task.
I run a wet patch through the bore, scrub with a wet bore brush, push out the loosened deposits with another wet patch followed by a dry patch and then run the Boresnake through 10 or 12 times. It polishes the bore to a mirror finish before I run the final FrogLube patch through and I'm done in a jiffy.
