Green County are you talking about one shot case lube for a cleaner? I have a savage 62 .22lr that I can't get the action apart to clean(have never figured it out?) So I just dump solvent in it work it ans wipe off what runs out. Ues a dental pick to scrape off what I can get to also. Bore snake with #9 a few time on I and done.

It used to get a lot of use when I was young but has not been Shot in several years since the front sight got broken off when one of my sons knocked it over and it hit on a rock when I was skinning squirrels.

I'm planning on using it again. It is light, accurate and beet to heck. Scrached Plastic stock and no blue left on the barrel = no worried about bug spray on my hands removing the finish on my 31A and it's much lighter than it also.

A dry lube should help it keep from gunk building up and run longer.

Who cleans their guns?

Hoppes No. 9 is kerosene.

All we are talking about is cleaning metal. I have a recipe and make my own, but the bottom line is all you are doing is cleaning metal. If you don't mind the price, I am sure it works, but so will alot of other cheaper products.

I would advise against using Boresnakes due to barrel wear, except in extreme circumstances.

I have heard the bore snake argument , if you pull it harder against one side you could be creating added wear on that side , you are talking the wear from a soft nylon pull rope.

if you are carful to pull strait out the end it wouldn't drag on one side of the crown or another so it is very much context

for sure on your 1000 yard gun or your f-class bench gun a rod from the breach only but when you think about a 10/22 and cleaning it from the muzzle unless you have a hole bored in your receiver to push through from the back.
a spray and drop the weighted end through the ejection port to drag the crud out the muzzle

a glock pistol barrel spray some one shot and drop the cord through and pull strait , stop and re grab if you need to.
the likelihood of excessive wear is very minimal

even your 30-30 lever gun as long as you use a clean bore snake with a good strait pull out the end your risk is lower than never cleaning it and just "shooting the junk out"

I guess you have to ask what's worse a bore snake or an aluminum 3 piece rod from the muzzle ?
not everyone is going to have a bore guide from the breach with a Tipton coated rod and brass jags while that would be ideal some guns don't clean well from the breach.

pulling a clean bore snake strait through 2-3x a year on a 30-30 or a 22lr , I guess I don't see as a huge wear issue.

Line jumper, check out this video. I started using the one with the best results. I like it.

Yah, but the smell......

I have used Shooters Choice and Butches, trying to find something less harsh that still works on copper. I remember reading years ago that the strong ammonia based solvents caused microscopic cracks in the bore, probably bs.

Ammonia is hydroscopic. Bonds with water in the air. After using any of those copper scrubbers that have ammonia clean the solvent real good or you will get rust.

I dont think you need to deep clean like that very often unless your shooting bench rest competition rail guns or something. Rust is what screws up rifles. Get em out and oil them a couple times a year. I always run a few patches through the bore after shooting and then oil them before I put them up . About once a month I oil my truck gun and trapping pistol during season. Give them a good cleaning after season ends
