A"Tip" about cleaning 1911 chambers

[Rick McC.]

When they're actually dirty enough to clean, I run a bronze brush through the bore a few times, followed by a brass jag with a dry patch. I follow that with the jag and a patch wet with Eezox, then "dry" the chamber with a dry Q-tip.

It also makes subsequent bore cleanings almost unnecessary.

I only clean my range guns once a month, and that takes less than 10 minutes.
