I might try that, right now it would use more Hoppes than I have.

I just fired it last weekend, this time I’m adjusting the technique:

1. Hot soapy water brush, repeat, oil. Leave overnight.
2. Oil brush, repeat, oil. Leave overnight.
3. Bore cleaner patch, repeat several, oil. Leave overnight.
4. Repeat #3, case and store.

We shall see.

I'm not actually sure they even need to be cleaned.

I've got a friend who has never done anything more than put a bore snake through his and hasn't had a problem with over 5000 rounds.
