Chamber brush

[light476]

I'm very particular about cleaning my guns.
I used to shoot 600/1000 yards

I clean my Auto shotguns just like my rifles.
Shooters choice, brushes, patches, mops, oh my...

That said I wanted a simpler way to clean the chamber.

Is a 10 gauge brush good to go for chamber cleaning a 12...or is it still not big enough?

At present I just use a 12 brush and spend an excessive amount of time as it's not very tight in there.

10 gauge brush for the dhamber???

I use a 12 bore brush and put a 3"x3" patch over it, soak it with solvent and clean. Works like a charm for me. Keep in mind I go through about 2000 target shells per year plus all the goose, duck and turkey loads from hunting. Field cleaning is done with a Hoppe's Viper Bore Snake, Clenzoil CLP and compressed air. Detailed cleaning takes place when I get home.

If you really want it cleaner, I suppose you could use a wooden skewer to pick out the corners.

I'm particular as well, but not obsessive. My firearms get used, sometimes used very hard. After the hunt or range session they get cleaned properly. In my time in the US Navy, I saw many rifles screwed up from improper use of a cleaning rod and obsessive cleaning. The white glove treatment is not the standard to keep for a working firearm.

If you want a collector piece, don't shoot it.
