I've never used a bore snake but they may be the way to go, inserting from the chamber. A muzzle protector can be bought or, as I use, homemade from a cartridge case that will fit inside the bore, yet allow the rod to pass thru it. I'll admit to, at times, just shoving the cleaning jag/brush down the bore and back out being careful, of course, to not contact the muzzle with the cleaning rod. Now, with that said, you've got several choices of how to clean from the muzzle end. Not unless you've got a couple hours to devote just to disassembly/reassembly. I'm not sure what the OP's question really is but if it pertains to "can I clean from the chamber end?" the answer is pretty much no. I got as far as the scrub hell out of it and quit.

(I presume everyone has carefully deburred rod ends, jags, etc., checked fit-ups?)īvTI pretty much agree. I well cared for barrel cleans for copper as easily from the muzzle as from the breech. Without leading, cleans in 4 one-way passes. Screw rod onto brush or jag held in front of the chamber. Place bare rod in barrel with muzzle protector in place. Scrub the hell out of it ?Stainless steel chore boy ***rats!!!Ĭlean like the military cleans ARs when you cannot disassemble.
