OT - cleaning bores of target pistols

05-31-2001, 01:23 PM

I clean my '73 Ruger Mark I after every range session. I wish all my guns shot as acturately. And I must have put 20,000 rds through it by now. This Month's American Rifleman has an excellent article on rifle cleaning; much of which applies to pistols. The big debate among rifle shooters is whether to use a steel or plastic coated rod and the importance of a muzzle guide.
