The mistake a lot of people make when swabbing the bore is they do not have the patch wet enough. We all know you never push a dry patch down a dirty or fowled barrel. If you ever do get a patch stuck in the barrel and it will not move, before you tear the rifle apart, try pouring some alcohol down the barrel. Enough to saturate the patch. Normally you can then pull the patch back out the muzzle.

Also if you have problems even getting a patch started into the muzzle, chances are the patch is too thick or too large. You need to remove it at the muzzle, trim it, re-position it, or change to a different patch. I have used a lot of T-shirts with no problem, even old white cotton socks. But the thing to remember is, if it feels wrong, then do not push it in deeper.
