To me yea your barrel may last longer but a long lasting inaccurate barrel is useless to me mind you it would last forever as if its inaccurate ill stop using it......
    Deep clean ,shoot till grouping, bore snake, keep shooting till doesn't group wit bore snake between outings as its the residue that attracts moisture and rust.
    I spray a bit of rem lube on my bore snake for a tad of safe protection.
