LSP Barrel cleaning recommendations

hi people, i shoot the last sunday and clean my barrel with kano kroil and after pass a cleaning rod with a cleaning patch for remove the dirt. i read the lsp barrel instructions and they recommend clean the barrel without cleaning rod,what is the best method for clean the barrel without damage the crown of barrel,thanks.

Clean from chamber end....ALWAYS! I've been using rods since Christ was a corporal with no negative results. Never use SS bristles and you should be fine.

Daannnng you old!

Instead of a rod, I use a piece of heavy duty weed wacker string to push patches thru

I use the Tipton carbon fiber cause everything in life is better with carbon fiber

One pass with hoppes on a bore snake.

from my rifle days... a coated steel or brass rod...Graphite can be abrasive.

just push only from the chamber end as Jon said and DON'T pull it back through from the muzzle

I use the extra long wood shank q tips from brownells.

thanks to all for the help!

From where you are SW-52?

Why clean a 22cal barrel after every match?

These days I only clean the chamber in my 22

PatchWorm is wonderful. I have one for pistols and one for rifles.

Weed wacker line or a patch worm. But the important thing to keeping my 22's with tight chambers running is brushing the chamber with a .243 or .25 bronze brush bent to the ~size of a 22 casing. I brush the chamber, pull through a dry patch and then try the drop test (barrel held muzzle down and if the round will not drop in and out I brush the chamber again and then use a patch with some kroil (which does wonders on both fouling and wax buildup), followed by 2 dry patches. If the opportunity is there I then fire several rounds to refoul the barrel or at least restart the fouling process. I brush the chamber before every match and pull through a dry patch. I only use kroll or other solvent when I need it. 

Finally I make sure that the mechanism is oiled with a light oil, Hoppes #9 oil, Marvel Machine Gun oil, etc.
