skeeter does the bore like me...except i dont use solvent remoil on the brush going through about 12 times then letting it sit a min or 2 then i dry patch it until the patch comes out clean then i lightly oil a patch and send it in once if it will be sitting for a while or if im going to use it hunting sometime soon or shooting i dont oil it again because it affects the impact point....also dont forget about scrubbing the action everything down....and if you can like if you have mag with a floor plate that opens clean the mag box and spring...and make sure the actions oiled after its clean...i duno what the paste is? maybe some kind of solvent....unless you shoot alot oil seems to work for me...22s and shotguns i clean the actions with powder solvent because the powder burs dirty, i shoot alot at once, and their is always excess powder in the action that didnt burn...i clean my guns excessivly well ive been told...but a gun that wont function or hit what you aim at in my view is usless....good luck...you will learn a way that work for you...there is no right way to clean a gun...just as long as it cleans everything and you like the method....
