Gun cleaning

[Wilky 0]

I'm having no end of trouble getting a soft bronze brush to clean my .410 Hushpower, they all seem to be very stiff, no problem getting a soft one for my 12g I can't even get a nylon brush for the .410, I'm currently using patches and solvent as any stiff brush gets stuck due to the gun being full choke, even the rod without an attachment on the end won't pass through. I was wondering if anyone had used these Boresnakes on a fully choked .410 with any success.

wilky if you know any one with a rifle maybe 243 or similar try there phosphor bronze brush and rods they will be slimmer to get down the bore yes there will be movement in the bore but a bit of vigorus brushing will probably do the trick

Why clean the bore

 

Same reason I clean anything really, I try to look after my tackle, and when the gun's had a bit of hammer it gets shitten up, am I doing something wrong?

Cheers for that big fella, mine does get some hammer, but obviously I'll bear that in mind cos there's no doubt yours will, but it's hard trying to change the way you're reared, I clean all my tackle always, trowels n'everything. "Look after your tackle and your tackle will look after you" that's the way I was brought up and I guess that's how I'll always be.
