DPMSClassicFan Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hello again, my DPMS LR-308 classic is having some issues.... Lately after a day or 2 of cleaning it dirt or grime or something pops up back in my barrel. I'm not sure why it could be doing this. Does this mean my gun is ruined? because i didn't follow the reccomended break in period perfectly? I do clean it after everytime I go shooting with the gun. I just need some insight guys to why dirt or bullet grime could still be showing up.. Thanks. and PS. Could this adhere the accuracy of the rifle? :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr3db3ar Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Are you cleaning with a brass brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPMSClassicFan Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 yes. I forget if its the brass brush that it came with or the one the kit came with but yes... Here's what i do. Take the brush spray the hoppes bore cleaner on the brush then go down and all the way back like 5-10 times...then get the swabs, swab it back and forth till i see no more black on the pads. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr3db3ar Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 My cleaning experience is limited ;D I shoot dirty guns a lot. But I do know that brass and solvent make black every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPMSClassicFan Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 So if it has just little particles it should be fine? And also. My friend said not to clean it from the front of the gun will this mess up the crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesymoto Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Clean from breech to muzzle. It will save the crown, and pull all that crap away from the action and working moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPMSClassicFan Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Is there a way to see if my crown on my gun is messed up? Or of the riflings are ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 A good bore light for the barrel & check your muzzle crown for dents or deformities .I use a bore brush's & they hold dirt or just discoloring .Gotta keep them clean also.
