rifle cleaning?

[Brithunter]

Hmm well I have a couple of older Norma ammo catalouges and one has an article on bore clening in the back. Norma claim that 1 dozen strokes is the minimum to use and the brush needs to go both ways to do a proper job, their coment is :-

"have you ever tried painting using the brush just going in one direction?"

Norma at this time also had a custom gun shop .

rem700 made a good point, if your patch is overlapping the full size diameter of the jag where it screws on it will be tight. Using a smaller patch of course is one soloution, a thinner patch is another, attaching the patch a different way is the third . You will get there in the end .
