Gunsmith tip break cleaner will strip carbon off steel like no one’s business and dry residue free, will also blast off cosmoline and bluing salt gunk it can also clean your rotors I guess

You're welcome and thank you for watching

I was just watching cleaning videos from benchrest shooters and F class shooters and the difference between cleaning regimes is pretty big. Some said they only cleaned when accuracy started dropping off while most others cleaned after every match. Benchrest guys clean before, during and after so they might be considered a little extreme, but it would be hard to argue their thinking if they are winning matches. I know for a fact that I need to step up my rifle cleaning game.

Great video. Learned a lot from two of the best!

I've been cleaning my rifles the exact same way as you guys after watching Eric Cortina's video on Thomas "Speedy" Gonzales's cleaning video. Basically a coppy past +/- a few details. Excellent vidéo guys.

Thanks for the insights and instruction. Happy New Year to you and yours for 2024 guys.🤙

Sometimes I’ll use a 30 or even 338 cal brush on the action cleaning rod to clean the neck area. I’ll soak a patch with Boretech C4 there for a few hours and then run the brush for like 30 revs. That always seems to be the hardest part to get clean.

Same process for a precision 22LR? Awesome video!

Would be nice if they made different sized chamber brushes like they have for .223/5.56 ARs.

@@FrancisColonPRSso even when brushing the bore you still use a 30cal brush? And I noticed you guys are using the black handle rod which is for 223 cal any particular reason for that? I always assumed you’d want everything to be the same as the caliber you’re cleaning.

Wet a patch with BoreTech carbon remover, let it sit on the carbon ring for 15 minutes, spin it 10-15 times, push 2 dry patches through and I’m done. Run my bore scope and it’s perfectly clean.

Fair point. The most important part is making sure that your chamber and bolt are cleaned regularly.

this is for Chad, I notice you are now using a magnifier on your rifle so you can see the lines better, what brand of magnifier are you using I just bought the Gen II Pro Series Turret Magnifier. it really helps with my old eyes LOL

What type of muzzle devices are you two running on your rifles

Where can we get a 2 piece carbon cleaning rod that fits in a cue case?

Would love links to all these products

Which bore scope are you using?

I use a 1 liter plastic bottle over my muzzle when cleaning. Cut it in half about halfway down the bottle so it can be spread apart to go over the muzzle. All the patches and any spray from brushes are all contained in the bottle

Thanks for the video, but I'm cleaning more thoroughly 😊

Could you please do a test with moisture? What is happening after all when we have increase in moisture? Does the air density increase or not?

@MDTTAC

Thank you for the idea and I will make sure to pass it onto our team.

Did they use undersized brushes in order to pull back through the barrel ? Or reverse the brush direction by coming all the way out the muzzle ?

@Go__Birds

6 ай бұрын

Brushes aren't made directional. They work the same forward and backwards. You just have to go all of the way out before changing directions

Maybe I just missed it, but how long were the cleaning rods you used? Thanks for such a detailed video, it was very beneficial.

use as needed. I used a 36 on my 24" 223, works fine. until when switched to 6.5prc. the stock's cheek riser simply can't be removed, and the handle is too big, so had to upgrade to a 40 or 44" rod. you don't need a super long rod, sometime the bigger jag went out of the muzzle then come back might be a problem, finding 1 rod to fit all rifles are tough. at the of the day, you might ended up with couple anyways.

Is it OK to pull jags and brushes back threw the crown like that? My instructor told me to push through from the breech one way only and remove the jag or patch after each stroke which makes it a lot harder work but he said it was worth it to protect the crown.

We don't oil the bore directly because we generally shoot our rifles often enough to prevent solvent/corrosion from storage.

@patrickgjorven7832

29 күн бұрын

I wouldn't do that to any rifle in the bore. Reason is it would end up like having rain water droplets plugging the bore, and we all know what happens to rifle barrels when you try to shoot it when water is in the barrel.

What are those attachments called that cover the top of the barrel? Or is that just an enclosed chassis?

It's our control bridge for the ACC Elite, they screw into the top of the forend

Unrelated question, but with fixed stocks and barrels that long in what kind of case do you transport your rifles? I have hard cases long enough but they're too bulky, and most soft cases max out at 46 inches inside.

@MDTTAC

People will try to use a a folding buttstock to be able to stow easier, however, when that is not available, you will need to just go with a longer case.

Best chamber cleaning method has been a mystery to me. Good info. My main question from the video is Francis said to you a 30 cal brush on a 6mm barrel. I have a 6mm nylon brush that is extremely difficult to get down the bore. My 6mm brass brush does fine, but going to a 30 cal nylon brush seems impossible. Just in my experience

The 30 cal nylon brush I use has thin bristles that flex out of the way. I've experienced what you are referring to also. As the brush gets larger, the thin bristles can deform/bend out of the way easier. Some of the high quality nylon brushes are too dense to use the method I demonstrated in video.

Where can I get the buttstock weights they are using?

I have heard many differences in cleaning methods. It would be a nice video if you would have explained the problems associated with cleaning or lack of cleaning based on some of these other theories.

The sport of precision rifle is expensive. These guys will burn multiple barrels a season at $1k per. The cleaning gear you see in this video is a spit in the bucket for these guys. Maybe choose a different method or watch a different video if this one offends your sensibilities?

You have to pay to play. Also the majority of this can be bought for around $100, less the bore scope (about another $100) for many cleanings. For folks that compete on the level these guys do, the barrel condition is imperative.
