Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Cleaning ropes

I collected the British Enfield rifle which used a pull through and it needs to be used correctly.(See photo at link below) If the cord is not "clean and centered" in the muzzle as it is pulled through it can cause "cord wear" meaning muzzle wear.

I have both types to use in the field or range. BUT normally shortly after shooting I use foam bore cleaner and "minimum" cleaning rod time in the bore.

Spare the rod and spoil the bore.

Below a 1943 .303 British No.4 Enfield with a frosted bore from corrosive primers. And with one shot of foam bore cleaner all the copper and carbon is removed without using a bore brush. (Or a "rope" pull through)



Spare the rod and spoil the bore.
