Great vid, I’ve never used a brush on a RF ever and I’m an old guy, I just purchased nylon brushes for the chambers only. I always patched out at the end of a session, before the fouling/carbon has a chance to set up. Easier to take care of business while the barrel is still warm.

I use C4 and a .22 bore mop first. Run it down the bore and then let it sit in the carbon ring/chamber area for an hour or so. Follow it up with a , gasp, bronze bore brush. Push felt pellets through the bore until they come out clean. I also use a carbon fiber one piece rod. Don't forget to clean the rod itself.

Aluminum jags i will pick up. Great tips. Im totally against brass brushes on rimfire rifles. Yes brass is softer than steel but steel extractors still wear on brass casings. The lands cut in the barrel are very fine and hold your accuracy. Brass brushes add 1000’s of rounds of wear for no reason. Nylon bends in the face of any metal and it a much safer choice.

Thanks for the video, Josh. Don't let Jon and Jon see you clean those barrels without covering the Tract. Heaven forbid you slop something on the lens.... I love Tract scopes also. I also use the bore Tech stuff. Their copper cleaner works great for the center fire barrels. Seems your Lilja barrels are easier to clean than my stock barrel. Just takes forever and the patches never come out total clean. So I just run some Ballistol patches to get the main crud out between real cleanings like you demonstrate here. Removal of the carbon ring is the most important part of the process.

I received the hat; nice looking and to the point... "Pursuit of Accuracy." Further, I did not realize that getting a clean patch out of the barrel meant that the "hard, unsoftened" carbon ring was guaranteed to have been removed (thus, as you advised... a bore scope). Upon realization of that fact, I have changed my cleaning procedure to match the one that you shared in this video.

The bronze brush is faster than the nylon. But if you let the chemicals work there magic it doesnt take too much scrubbing
I use C4 and a .22 bore mop first. Run it down the bore and then let it sit in the carbon ring/chamber area for an hour or so. Follow it up with a , gasp, bronze bore brush. Push felt pellets through the bore until they come out clean. I also use a carbon fiber one piece rod. Don't forget to clean the rod itself. BTW this is not the same C4 we used to heat up our C-Rations.

TNT used to be the cleaner of choice but C4 is a more modern chemical with a lot of power potential too.

Aluminum jags i will pick up. Great tips. Im totally against brass brushes on rimfire rifles. Yes brass is softer than steel but steel extractors still wear on brass casings. The lands cut in the barrel are very fine and hold your accuracy. Brass brushes add 1000’s of rounds of wear for no reason. Nylon bends in the face of any metal and it a much safer choice.
Josh, your videos are great! How do you clean your Kidd Supergrade when you don't want to take it apart? Thanks.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your cleaning method. At what shot interval do clean, number of rounds or diminishing accuracy? Wish you would have run the borescope before and after though. Thank you again.

Thanks for the video, Josh. Don't let Jon and Jon see you clean those barrels without covering the Tract. Heaven forbid you slop something on the lens.... I love Tract scopes also. I also use the bore Tech stuff. Their copper cleaner works great for the center fire barrels. Seems your Lilja barrels are easier to clean than my stock barrel. Just takes forever and the patches never come out total clean. So I just run some Ballistol patches to get the main crud out between real cleanings like you demonstrate here. Removal of the carbon ring is the most important part of the process.

I have to quit watching your videos, Josh! They are costing me! But... thank you for the advice that I have utilized: 1) 457 MTR; 2) bore scope; 3) Bore Tech carbon removal; Bore Tech jag; nylon brushes (can't go wrong, right?). AND... I received the hat; nice looking and to the point... "Pursuit of Accuracy." Further, I did not realize that getting a clean patch out of the barrel meant that the "hard, unsoftened" carbon ring was guaranteed to have been removed (thus, as you advised... a bore scope). Upon realization of that fact, I have changed my cleaning procedure to match the one that you shared in this video.
nice!
Great video. As an old codger I am learning to respect your advice (wisdom) if I want to shoot a rifle with better groupings. One BIG question I have is your feelings on NEW barrel break-in process. I have seen mixed reviews and was wondering what your feelings are. If you have it on one of your videos, I have not watched but would like to know which one. Your help is greatly appreciated. K.

I dont think 22 barrels break in. Ive shot lots of brand new barrels at the gun smiths shop and they shoot grest right out of the gate. That little lead bullet isnt changing the barrel appreciably to break it in. I figure if i cant shoot one out, how could i break it in.
Can you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to find a bore guide for my BRNO model 4 22 cal rifle not having much luck finding anything...thanks !!
went to clean my 457 and was surprised how much gunk was on the receiver area... idk if its lead or carbon.. little specs in every crevice. and hard to get them out too with the scope in the way

What is your thoughts on a 22 cal boresnake after each session until 4-500 rounds down the tube before Carbon cleaning? Or do you suggest a different clean cycle? I know it depends on the system and that varies do asking in general terms.

If you ran a boresnake every 100 or so rounds it may hold off the carbon ring a little. I dont have much faith in the cleaning ability of boresnakes though

I agree with @joed3264 on the felt pellets. If you are not using the VFG pellets you really are just trying to do it the hard way. Also have to say the melonite cleaning rod from KSS in .187 with a bore guide made for your specific action is the smart choice, if you have a good barrel.

Quick question if I may? Do you clean after every shoot or after a certain number of rounds? And if you're not going to clean a gun, say if you only put 50 rounds through it, is it safe to leave until the next shoot in terms of the barrel not being protected but that light coat of oil?

Nope, just make sure your using the proper equipment and solutions. If your aiming to keep the chamber clean it really only takes about 15 or 20 strokes of a nylon brush after letting the chamber soak with a carbon cleaner. Few patches til clean and your done

I am doing a version of the same thing on my Vudoo. C4 chamber cleaning only, and pulling only dry patches through after shooting to leave the "seasoning" in the barrel. Not using any solvent. Saw a video from one of the Vudoo staffers suggesting this method - meaning to not remove the layer that accurizes the barrel. More witchcraft? Maybe so, but so far so good. Only shooting premium ammo (Lapua/SK/Eley) so the quality of the layer being laid down is good.
how about some Tshirts again. My first ones with the logo on the back and small logo intthe front. Black and oD=OD? The design on the back of both shirts havvd pealed off with 5 inside out washings in cold water. They were a lot of $$$ to have failed so soon. What's up with that?🤐
