Re: Shotgun Cleaning ?
As a retired mechanic, I tend to do things my own way also.
Would someone enlighten me as to why people hate the inexpensive
3 piece cleaning rods. I can't see spending $25+ on a one piece rod
for a shotgun. Aluminum rod vs Steel bbl = rod will wear and not scratch bbl.
Bore mop with Remington 40-X or Hoppe's 9 followed by bronze brush followed by a lot of patches.
If the bore is really bad I just chuck the bronze brush in a slow speed drill, although
drill speed isn't to critical. It definitely gets the lead out. Before I use patches,I just use small
pieces of paper towel (with bore cleaner) to push the heavy stuff out.
When it is clean, i use a little 3-in-1 oil, if I run out of gun oil.
