Just curious you say "they do not foul".........Then why even clean ???????

I have never owned such a barrel, every barrel I have will carbon foul or copper foul eventually.

I have a 5R X-caliber barrel that is a nightmare and a 5C Broughton that seems to be a great barrel.

Boots Obermeyer was the originator of the 5R barrel, he states to be a 5R it must be cut rifled hence Broughton calls their's a 5C because it is button rifled. How does Pac-Nor and Remington call them 5R when Pac-Nor is button rifled and Remington is hammer forged ???
