Default RE: Milsurp. Rifle Barrel Cleaning Question

Mostofthe corrosive compounds in ammunition are water soluble. Stick the end of your barrel in a pot of hot soapy water and fit the cleaning rod in the breech. Run your cleaning rod with a tight fitting patch up and down like a piston. The water will be sucked into the barrel and expelled with each stroke. The hot water will heat up the barrel and it will dry quickly. Finish with your usual method.
