I know hardly anything about cleaning right now so I am not sure what to do, not to do.
I was under the impression that too much (too aggressive) brushing can ruin the rifling and/or the crown. This video looks pretty aggressive, with back and forth brushing with the brass brush.
I have bore snakes for both 9mm and .223, which basically clean in one direction only. Is this sufficient? Or gimmicky? Do I need to get a "real" cleaning kit? Procedure is wet the tip of the bore snake with Hoppes 9, pull through, then wet the snake itself with CLP, and pull through again, and then that's finished. Is this sufficient cleaning?
I just don't want to screw up the barrels.
