Bill, I don't recommend you do it either. You have to remember these were field expedients. Meant to be used when needed. The Germans also used brass tips and muzzle protectors. Actually the bore is least in need of cleaning. The chamber areas need it much more after fireing. Another thing, rust was probably a bigger problem than fouling. When shooting I have found a rod to be important on the range to clear stoppages. Jerry Burney
