I was on BiggerHammer yesteday and posted a questions about an accuracy issue I was having with my Serbu BFG-50. Basically my first and second shot out of it were off target when the barrel was cold. The third shot and all consecutive shots where dead on. One of the responses asked me about how much cleaning I do on the rifle, especially in regards to oiling the barrel.
This got me thinking in that I follow the same cleaning procedure with all of my rifles and handguns. Is there such a thing as to much cleaning and finishing with Rem Oil or Break Free patches down the barrel. Maybe I'm leaving to much oil residue and it's causing my shots to go off some to start with.
I doubt (and hope) that I will never need my rifle/handgun in a life and death situation. But if I do, I want to have a warm and fuzzy feeling that my first shot will be on target and not have to worry about whether my last cleaning will make that first shot off target.
What do you all think? Can you over clean / leave to much oil residue in your rifle/handgun? Have any of you experienced this issue?
