They'd better since their cheapest ready-to-ship rifle costs almost twice what my 69 Camaro RS 350 ci cost new off the showroom floor.

@@cbsbass4142 I'd rather have the CAMARO, had to sell my 68 & 2 69's when I got married to buy a house 32 years ago.

Doesn't the kg-12 work by sitting in the bore?

@@JS-te4gz I plug the barrel ...fill it full of kg 12 ....let it stand overnight...the next day use my usual cleaning process...2/3 shooters choice 1/3 kroil mixture. Works 4 me !!!

@@raymondmccomas3710 Isn't that the whole bottle?

Ten4 on that. I cringed every time he slapped that crown at 6 o'clock every time he retracted that end of that rod.

Painters tape is also handy.

fisoxlt I mean I guess if you have a carbide coated jag.

@@Bent099 roflmao, you hate your barrel dont you

fisoxlt nope. And I have groups in the basement from third generation inherited rifles to prove it if you wish. If you can fuck up a steel muzzle with a brass jag you deserve an award. And a sign

Patch on the end of a jag is tough to pull back from crown to breech as the patch easily comes off the jag. I don't like running a dirty patch back through a barrel and simply let it drop off, or take it off. Harder materials will potentially damage the crown of the barrel, which can seriously affect accuracy and consistency. Most nylon bore brushes I have seen are not hard enough to damage the barrel or the crown, so I am less concerned about damaging the crown from the brush. Probably brass brushes are OK unless you are trying to remove copper (brass is a mixture of metals including copper). You will note he was using a coated barrel cleaning rod which protects the barrel from being damaged by the rod itself. I am less concerned about damaging the barrel or crown with soft materials, but some jags, hoops or rod ends may be hard enough to damage the crown. I use tools that I think will not damage the barrel. Bore snakes are very good as you do not have to pull them back through the barrel. No, I don't use a muzzle protection device on revolvers at all times, as I use softer cleaning tools, most commonly a bore snake unless I am dealing with a problem inside the barrel (such as spot rust). I would not leave cleaner on the weapon/barrel as it might affect the finish.

People always worry about the metal jags, Its like they forget bullets do far more damage. I would be more worried about leaving cleaner in the barrel or anywhere in the gun. Many cleaners can do lots of damage if left in the firearm

Your jag is made of brass. Your barrel I would hope is made of steel. Brass is softer. Your not going to hurt your barrel or the crown. That is pretty much the entire principle of your jag being brass.

+glenn connell no you go with the grain of your rifle

go with the metal grain use your handplane and you can feel the blade cut in

A dirty barrel will deposited the metals, (copper ext.) On the patch Wich eventually can wear your crowns edge! I push my rod down, barely exposing the patch at the muzzle and grab the patch with my fingers before the jag even touches the crown and hold on to the patch and pull the rod back. I also wipe the rod clean after every stroke. Different Strokes for different folks I guess

Airgunner Xtreme what if you have a threaded barrel and a muzzle brake?

KG12 is better than sweets according to the many reviews I’ve read. I use KG12, and it was very effective... took 10 minutes to remove years old copper fouling from my 7mm REM Magnum

Correct, unless you want to re-crown your rifle every time you clean it

You guys think a composite or brass brush is going to damage hardened or stainless steel? Maybe if you were using a SS brush. Fwiw

This is where people get janky. Are you nuts? Do it his way and you'll NEVER recrown that barrel.

Cyanide ...don't drink it or let it sit on skin

The one for the caliber

Never mind. I looked up Rapid which is all I could see on this video and couldn't find it but I finally got it. Tipton Rapid.

Possum Hollow is our favorite.

Nylon was used because KG12 will EAT a bronze brush....

As brass has recently been shown to be worse than brass you mean...?

or not... www.coretacsolutions.com/products_KG_KG12_TEST.htm

Simple test of any copper solvent is to put a few drops on a clean piece of copper, you will soon see whether it works or not.

Yes, you would be dragging the fowling material back and forth. It will also be loose to come off the brush if it meets much resistance. If the only fowling would be carbon or copper, I would not be too concerned with a decently hard barrel. I don't think there is much benefit to back-and-forth unless there is a fowling spot on the barrel. If it persists, you may want to take that to a gunsmith for more detailed analysis.

i kept thinking of how many people buy new scopes after having him work ......you tube is the great equalizer

Right.....another crazy person. Clean it his way on a rifle you don't care for then and TEST and see if accuracy ever goes down the expected life of the barrel.........then say it's painful. But just don't pull stuff out of your ass

But it's made out of the same stuff bullets are made out of...and you are not pushing the rod through at 2900fps

@@hunterblankenship9346 how and what you use can destroy a barrels accuracy faster than years of shooting. There's a video on here that shows that. It's pretty interesting to watch. My 1k meter rifles I take good care of them especially when cleaning. My other systems I don't get that crazy with them but i still take precautions on how i clean them. The rod constantly drops on the bottom part of the crown so it wears it unevenly where the bullet exits the barrel. Those cleaning rods that you put together by pieces fuck your rifling up. After i saw the camera go down that barrel i grabbed one of my older rifles and saw exactly what he was talking about. I won't ever clean my rifles how i used to
