Thread: In-between barrel cleaning

Barrel damage and throat/muzzle wear are the things most of us cannot see and cannot quantify including myself but if it is good enough for top ranking bench resters to not clean it is good enough for me.
As said previously any blued centerfire barrel I own will at the very least be wet patched with oil before safe.
S/S hunting rifle if used in dry conditions back in the safe untouched, if wet oiled but then shot again as soon as possible.
Some barrels just dont like being clean and you can end up endlessly chasing your tail until you figure out the love of your life only really performs when she is a dirty girl.

Now you're just confusing me!
Surely if she likes being a dirty girl that means I should be stroking my (cleaning) rod in and out repeatedly as often as possible!
