Well done, easy to follow, glad I found this.

Do you oil all the parts in it after cleaning?

[@richardross4996]

Q- do you think running the brush back and forth will bring unwanted material back in to receiver from barrel? You mentioned about not running the patch back in the barrel, thought the brush more likely to bring material back in.

That's a great question Richard. Honestly, I had this same concern back when I was first taught how to clean my rifles. I agree that running the brush backwards and forwards has the potential to drag dirt or debris back inside the receiver. However, I think the issue is largely offset by cleaning the barrel out with the patches, and then by following it up with a thorough cotton swab wipe down on the inside of the receiver. To this day, I've never has an issue with a build up of particles or gunk, and the rifle has always functioned as it came from the factory. With that said, if you are concerned about potential contamination, the best option would be to remove the brush at the end of your "push stroke", remove the rod from the barrel, and reattach it before your next push stroke. I hope that helps mate.
