Crown protector?

[Dave M.]

Don't reverse the brush, don't use a bronze brush only nylon, unscrew the brush, break in and clean every round for the first 10 then clean every other round till you have shot 50 rounds, don't use JB, don't use Isso, use toilet bowl cleaner to clean your rifle, shoot till accuracy falls off, then clean . (Accuracy fell off right in the middle of a match). All of this learned from the internet, from people that don't give their name. I think i am going to listen to Bart in his interview with Erik. Barthas won a few things and I think i can trust him.

^^^^^ This was exactly my point from above Ebb.

Clean the barrel vertically.

No offense intended here, but what in world does this accomplish or prevent??

Vertically will minimize any contact with the crown.

Lol..now I see a market to prevent damage between the stop and the action

Just when I think I've heard everything there is to hear about cleaning I realized I haven't. I have to tip my hat to you sir; I never would have imagined something like that.

Its a non issue

I fail to see how if using a quality bore guide. I feel we are trying to fix an issue that doesn’t exist. IMO.

Can you just put a piece of tape over the muzzle? Something like gaffers tape would work well.

PVA also makes a "Muzzle Jimmy" that might work well, but their intent was a bit different.

I'd think a small O-ring (smaller than bore diameter) just behind the jag would keep the rod centered enough to avoid catching the edge as the jag comes back through. And it would cushion the edge if you ran the O-ring out the end and came back.

If you look at a proper jag real close the part next to the thread is smaller than the part right before it gets small and is exactly the dia of your rod. This gives it a ramp to keep the jag part from banging into the crown

@LVLAaron Are you referring to the guide or the solvent port? Are those guides decent?

On the Internet, there is always a need to look for solutions to non existing problems.

The vast majority of these “problems“ can be corrected by a little dose of common sense.

Not all jags or rods are created equal. Especially if you fudge on rod diameter vs jag diameter (say, using a 22 rod with a .308 jag.)
