I guess I've always been the type to clean my guns regularly, perhaps too often on occasion. Maybe it's because I just like to "fondle" my guns and cleaning them gives me the opportunity to indulge my fetish.
But what is the proper equipment to use so the gun's rifling is left in no worse condition than before the cleaning process began? I currently use a steel one-piece rod for my .22 rim- and centerfire guns, a three-piece brass rod for .30 caliber and above; and three or four aluminum rods for shotgun cleaning.
The in-thing today seems to be some sort of fiber rod, plastic coated, with rod guides. I own none of those. Am I in trouble?
Please tell me your equipment preferences and procedures to maintain a clean bore.
