I have been getting so many opinions about barrel cleaning.
There are those that swear that the metal brush(I believe they are made of copper) will scratch the barrel up. Then they insist if you must use a metal brush to only go one way. They say the nylon brushes are far superior. I am here to say I don't buy it.
I use a brass rod with a copper brush go all the way through the barrel. I prefer the breech end, but some of my firearms the breech is not very accessible.
I use Hoppe's #9, non-chlorinated brake cleaner, and RemOil. I have never had a problem with my firearms from a cleanliness related standpoint.
If I am doing something horribly wrong please tell me.
Thanks.
