I use a 1 or 2 sizes bigger brush, and I will also put Patches on them and I don't use jags anymore. That extra size really helps a lot with cleaning and especially the carbon ring And sometimes thin gauze, so it holds the thorroclean better against the barrel.
Love the video! I’ve been using thorroclean for about a year now and I’m pretty happy with it so far (came from boretech and iosso). Definitely a lot faster with a better clean. I usually do 2 cycles of the thorroclean system and I get a mirror finish (every 150-200rds 6.5cm and 6gt). For the carbon ring, I use a patch soaked in boretech C4 and leave it in the ring area for 10-15 mins then twist the rod/patch in the carbon ring area for like 10-20 seconds and it gets rid of most if not all the carbon ring.
Hi Robby! Yeah, I think I'll stick with the C4 for the carbon ring, but do like the paste of the ThorroClean system. The soaking of the ring is where a bore mop really shines. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching my friend!
Just how exactly do you connect the drill to the cleaning rod? Did you modify the cleaning rod handle? I also use iosso brushes and think your drill method is something I would like to try but not destroy my Bore Tech cleaning rod. Thanks
Hi Sooner! The rod I use has a hole in the shaft that the handle rotates around, so the 1/4" hex key fits right into it. And since it's a nylon brush, it is never going to hurt that barrel. Thanks for watching my friend!
Great video! If I'm not mistaken the inner diameter at the carbon ring is around 6.87mm. Isn't the cleaning quicker if you use an oversized iosso brush (just for that area)?
Hi Vandorbence! You are totally correct, and on the 2nd and 3rd passes, I did use a larger brush (which I usually do) but totally forgot to tell you all about it! Good catch and thanks for watching my friend!
Hi Chris! I'm using the Teslong: amzn.to/3XqoQvC which is very good and not expensive at all. Hook it up to the phone and go. Thanks for watching my friend!
Be careful with that abrasive. You can polish the bore and with cause way faster copper fouling. I wrecked a barrel once. The bore should always look dull not shiny. Just my experience any way. Jim see once told me the bore should be like a piston sleeve. Shiny has more grip on the copper jacket compared to a rough barrel. Kinda like cross hatching if you will.
Hi LeftEdge! Good advice and thanks. This video was a pretty extreme example of cleaning, and I should probably have stated that at the end. I take it to the "shiny" level about every 1k rounds and then foul it up to that dull level before a match. Thanks for watching my friend!
