How To Clean Your Rifle… The Right Way. The Definitive Guide On Precision Rifle Maintenance.

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thank you

Hello Gary, great video!! Where did you find the rod guide that fits into the PMA bore guide? Thank you.

Fantastic video!

I would add never use compressed air cans on your optics. They do contain added chemicals that could ruin your lens coatings. In addition, the high pressure could scratch the lenses if any debris are on the lens. Only use a poof or manual blower to remove dust from a lens before cleaning. Also never spray cleaning liquid straight on any lens, always spray a small amount on your microfiber cloth. A big amount of lens cleaning liquid can also damage your lens coating after time. You only need a small amount on your cloth. And always store your microfiber cloth in a sealed cover so it stays clean and free of any debris, grains of sand or dust. Donr apply much pressure on the lenses while cleaning, heavy scrubbing will also affect lens coating. Speaking out of my experience as I am a cinematographer who works with expensive cinema glass worth 40-50k each..

Question, if we don’t want solvents in the action then how does the action cleaning kit keep solvents out of the action?

Bore Tech are the best cleaning solvents I have used.

I start my process at the range with Eliminator. My ride home is about 20 minutes so its perfect by the time I get set up.

One thing I do use that Gary didnt was the Carbon Remover.

Talking to Bore Tech reps they said Eliminator is equal parts the Carbon/Copper remover. So I use the specific cleaners as well as the overall (which is the Eliminator).

Excellent video. Thank you.

Anyone has recommendations for cleaning a shotgun?

Brand new to guns so forgive me… any oil on outside of barrel?

Excellent video, thanks.

Thank you Gary

The most anal cleaning video i ever seen 🙂 I'm not sure if i mean that as a compliment or perhaps as just too much information (complicating things for everyone) Half the things this guy uses u don't need. When i see someone trying to push selling things to people they don't need – i got to call it. I have never personally used a rod for any of my clean ups – always a cable – ya it takes longer, but no need for all these bore guides or any of this bull S- i also never run the cable in reverse ever – only pulling from the front towards me. CLP and some good old Rem oil will do just fine as solvents.
If ur really anal about clean ups and want factory clean – invest in one of them sonic dishwashers for weapons – just buy the solvent and u don't have to worry about any of this. There is a point of too much equipment and overcomplicating things, where ur man cave just gets cluttered with useless things. Get a small cable only cleaning kit with some brushes that u can use on the go – very useful when using corrosive ammo as u want to clean the weapon as soon as possible before getting home. at home get ur self a sonic weapon cleaning machine. Makes things a lot easier :).

Don't wear out the barrel crown by running the jag or brush any farther than just out of the barrel. I see a lot of cleaning rod way farther than end of barrel allowing the metal connection to hit on the crown on the way back. Not good.

Hi just purchased some supplies during this video. Got the 6.5 creedmoor jag and it gave me size 243. Then I saw you edited the size so wanted to make sure I ordered the correct size, or if you can change that order. Order #89305 Thanks so much!

Just watched your video. I have AR's in 5.56 16" barrels and .308 20" barrel. Can one cleaning rod be used for both vs 2 separate caliber specific rods?

Hornady Ballistics lab uses the Boretec and wipe out , according to their head guy Jayden it works the best of all they tested and wont knock you out. Ill buy my next botlle here for sure. great video. My favorite is the scope mounting video.

Is the eliminator a good option for cleaning brakes as well? Want to upgrade my regiment. If I were gonna buy two bottles for bore and brake, it would be the eliminator and copper remover? Or should I grab a bottle of C4 for the brake too

That seems like a lot of work to clean this way. I typically clean using just an iosso brush and thorroclean/thorroflush. After about 3 rounds of 30 strokes each, the bore is practically shining when viewed with a borescope.

I have a Savage 110, 2 lug bolt…what size patch would be good for use with the Bore Tech action cleaning kit? Great series of videos on rifle cleaning Gary!

Quick question, if my rifles OAL from muzzle break to end of stock is exactly 44 inches will I be ok with the 44 inch rod since its going to have the jag add a couple of inches? Or should I go with a longer length?

What about cleaning the muzzle brake?

Big fan here Gary I made a sizable order of Bore Tech products based on your opinion and my wife asked me why i changed cleaning products and i told her Gary made me do she just laughed lol those products do clean much better thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

what's your advice on cleaning a new rifle prior to zeroing? and to what extent would you advise cleaning it? thanks.

Thank you for the very informative video Gary i just ordered a bunch of cleaning products by Bore Tech

Hands down the best rifle cleaning video on YT 🤝

Do you have any data comparing the bore tech products Vs hoppes and other brands? New to gun so I’m doing my homework on data driven maintenance

If you're going to be that fastidious about cleaning an optic, do not use compressed air from an air compressor unless it's a system designed for spraying paint on a vehicle. Otherwise, you'll likely blow oily water all over your lenses. All compressed air straight from the compressor has oil and water in it. It takes a great deal of effort to clean it enough to spray paint. But most compressed air systems don't bother because it isn't usually required for air tools.
