Larry whats your views on using a bore snake - should a person use nitro ahead of the brush .

[MidwayUSA]

@MrMrtiki You can use just about any bore cleaner with a bore snake. One of more popular solvents is Hoppe's #9, our product number 462963.

I don't think there's a man alive that could genuinely dislike Larry Potterfield.

and thats the way it is ?? lol xD funny guy :DD

[heysmithy]

You forgot to mention NEVER try to pull the wire brush back through the bore without pushing it all the way through the other side first. All the way through, all the way back, never try to just go "back and forth" with it.

Copper fouling can actually help long range accuracy as well, Todd from Magpul explains it. Very interesting stuff! It forms a "lining" over the rifling.
