Remove brake to clean barrel?

Tod who is picking on you Eddie? He loves it when I murder the English Language.

Joe, having two daughters, who are teachers, I get my fair share of "teacher talk" when I use the wrong grammar or, punctuation. I keep telling them I'm past saving but they don't give up!
 
Eddie yes I understand, that's why I never say anything about misspelled words or punctuation. The Computer does point some things out to me. But even then I can screw it up. My wife who went to college and has done a lot of papers and what ever, gets very upset when I ask her to check things that I have written. I don't ask anymore!

I have removed shredded cleaning patches from brakes when someone came in saying their rifle quit shooting. If you clean with the brake on make sure you check to see that all your patches are out. Always take a suppressor off before cleaning.
 
In school English was never my strong point, kind of funny that punctuation has become one of my peeves.

That being said, even I have fell to Eddie`s wrath of misspellings and general linguistical mistakes....:confused:

It happens.... people make mistakes, albeit some are funnier than others, but it`s just something that I strive to do my best at regardless of the mistakes others make....

OK....now I am REALLY confused. I thought I was the one who spelled it wrong. All I want to know is how to spell it and who is picking on who......or is it "whom"?
 
I'm seeing some pitting on my crown after just 50 rounds. That concerns me a lot. I could see this degrading accuracy quickly.

At the actual crown or just on the muzzle? A crown is pretty much self cleaning. On top of that, a cleaning brush, with routine cleaning would keep the ever so important edge of the bore clean. I've seen pitting on the muzzle while the actual crown looked great.

I'm not advocating not properly caring for your gun. I just doubt carbon buildup on a gun that is even reasonably cared for, will ever affect the actual crown and accuracy, due to it.

Well yes, as you say, on the muzzle. The crown does still look sharp. Guess I'll just keep an eye on it.
 
I'll have to check with Harrells and Bench Source to see if they back up this statement. I will say if anyone has heard of this happening to please chime in.

It was either at White Horse Or Harry also, we are going back. The reason the last one was around the time they were passing the rule that the muzzle didn't have to be over the end of the bench, had it not been over it somebody may have got hit with it. I never saw a steel one come apart.... jim
