You might need to reconsider your cleaning procedures!!!
For my knowledge, could you explain your procedure?
I use Hoppes No9 on a bore brush, dip the brush in the #9 and run it through the barrel, dip and repeat, 3 patches, one more run of #9 then patch it clean. I generously coat another patch with gun oil, and run that down the barrel a couple times. Use one of those #9 soaked patches to take any buildup off the front of the plug. Scrape primer flash hole with a pick, spray out with gun cleaner, check the flash hole to make sure its good. Smidge of grease on the threads, reinstall plug. Silicon cloth to run the gun down real quick. Takes me 10 minutes or less, and by barrel is still shiney and new and the gun looks great. Every 50 shots or so I will clean off the reciever around where the primer sits to take any carbon buildup off, and then a drop or two of oil on the firing pin.
Just curious if there is a better way, or if I am missing an important step.
