so today I was at my local range and this guy was cleaning his gun by using a brass cleaning rod and a 30 cal brush on a drill! pushing it back and forth on slow rpms. he said a gunsmith showed him this technique!. does anyone else do this...........
Was the gun a .22, .45, 9mm...etc? Was it a rifle or handgun? I have seen it done to a 12g chamber to polish it so some cheaper hulls cycle better. Never thought to use that technique on anything with rifling tho.
it was on a lee Enfield sporter .303
All I every use is a Bore Snake. One or two passes from chamber through to the muzzle is enough to make the bore perfect. Occasionally I will give the entire firearm (including bore) a treatment of G96...

I think that technique has a potential for doing some damage to a rifled bore.

My friend bubba does that all the time to his sporter. Makes the fmjs kill mooses better he says.

Its overkill and will eventually damage the bore.

i know people do that with ar 15 bolt carriers. I haven't seen it done with a rifle barrel though
I will stick to my normal method lool
Only ever did it to polish chambers . But not with a brass brush , use extra fine steel wool around a swab .
