Total agreement ☝🏽 on this.

I was a fanatic about clean barrels until I had a long conversation with a former special forces shooter who called BS on the excessive cleaning methodology.

After a lot of questions by me on wtf are you talking about? He simply said - “The barrel will tell you when it needs to be cleaned by how it’s shooting”.

“Unless the barrel is soaking wet or full of mud and needs the hose”. “Just wet a cleaning square with your favorite cleaning solution”. “Run the patch thru a couple of times - wait a few minutes - then run dry patches down the tube until the patches come out clean”.

I’m haven’t looked back since, and my rifles all shoot great, until they don’t. Then I follow the above for cleaning and it’s back to regular scheduled programming.

I was a very very happy man when I discovered they made this thing called a "Bore Snake" .

I was even happier after trying it.

I think I have all barrels covered now.

A joe not having his wpn within arms reach.
Had that hang up big time...
Bout 100 reps of the 4 up and over with that wpn usually cured the problem.
If the stupidity continued.
A 4ft tie off of 550 cord wpn to dumbazz AKA dummy cord cured it
Ridicule from everyone in the squad or platoon usually made mr dummy cord never wanta be more than arms reach from his wpn again.

We'll see how happy you are when you break one off in a barrel.

Not usually Jim.

Mr mathman...............that would present and interesting problem.


I'm going to the youtuber machine to see if anyone's come up with a quick and easy solution. Never heard of it happening to tell the truth.

Perhaps someone trying to get the 20g one through the '06??

Getting scoped while hunting might qualify as a hang up.

Not so much a gun hang up but a people hang up. The Wana b oPerAtOr who picks up the AR off the rack and proceeds to hold it with goofy arse over the barrel support arm stretched out straight hold. WTF is that ? And which one of you fIrEArMs InSTrucTors are teaching this?

Don't have one.

They just need to work.

My biggest beef is lack of sound suppression & the fact that the ATF sees the need to tax us to be considerate to others & ourselves by owning & utilizing a suppressor.

In my case that wouldn’t be true. The company or agency who hired the trainees pays my salary and depend on my feedback to make a placement decision on said trainees.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
