Article: 1:40 When I was shooting competitively in the service our coaches would not allow us to clean the barrels at all before or during a match. After a match we cleaned the moving parts (match grade M1s) and lightly oiled them. We ran a patch thru the bore coated with nitro solvent then a dry patch and that was it. Their theory was that the less wear on the barrel the better. I know that I shot the same gun for two years, put about 5000 rounds thru it and at the end of that two years it was as accurate as the day I got it. The scores posted by that gun were a function of the shooters ability not the gun. I have continued to practice this cleaning method with my personal weapons. -- Mark O'Shea marko@tekecs.GWD.TEK Tektronix, Inc. Willieville, Orygun
