whatmanual 44 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Don't confuse scratched up with "skid marks". Regardless of slugs or not, there's still a "wad" there. Anyway....best tip I have on that is to own a "Bore Snake"....best investment I've made for a barrel cleaning yet. Compare before and after you pull it through there. I think you'll find it shows the truth on what is or isnt scratched. ~S Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whatmanual 44 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Easy to find... Walmart even has it I believe... Simple google search: Bore snake http://www.gunaccessories.com/BoreSnake/default.asp tip: "machine" washable can also mean the dishwasher . Less problem with it getting tangled everywhere If your going to use CLP or whatever, place a few squirts around the bristle part of the snake -not the fuzzy part (less mess and works great). ~S Edited April 1, 2007 by whatmanual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
