This 'Smyth Busters' video debunks the myth that bronze bore brushes damage steel gun barrels. The hosts explain that soft bronze is unlikely to harm modern steel, though very old barrels or excessive force with abrasive powder residue could cause wear. They also caution against bronze brushes with steel cores scratching muzzle crowns and recommend brass cores for extra safety. The video suggests that damaged rifling might stem from improper cleaning techniques, such as using a steel rod in a .22 rimfire or excessive drilling with a brush on a dry bore. The myth is declared busted, with advice to use good solvents, nylon brushes, bore guides, and care with steel rods.
This video debunks the myth that cleaning a firearm barrel will wear it out. The "Smyth Busters" segment features Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve addressing a viewer's concern. They explain that while careless cleaning of softer .22 rimfire barrels with steel rods can cause damage, regular cleaning with appropriate tools and solvents, especially on chrome-lined or Nitrided barrels, does not shorten barrel life. Fouling is identified as the primary degrader of accuracy and bore life, making regular cleaning essential. The video emphasizes using good practices to avoid damage and stresses cleaning as needed.
