I'm about to pick up a new Springfield M1A, and I was wondering what the preferred way to clean the barrel is. I'm not really interested in a bore snake.
I do have a one piece Dewey cleaning rod. I am currently trying to decide between purchasing a muzzle guide or an Otis pull-through cleaning rod. Does one do a better job cleaning the barrel without damage compared to the other? I already have a nice Tipton jag set, would I need a knew set of jags for the Otis kit?
I've read alot on cleaning barrels lately, and it seems some people do not like pull through systems because of the possibility of it breaking or unscrewing in the barrel.
Any experienced M1A shooters have some advice for me?
TIA
