[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 356830, member: 3733"] I avoid abrasive paste, and do not recomend there use for general cleaning in custom barrels. The only time I use an abrasive is if I have a BUILD UP of carbon. To be honest I mostly see this in AR-15 barrels that guys bring in for cleaning, (they will actually have a smooth solid black coating of carbon through out the bore groove) and the ocassional factory gun that was not cleaned for years. Boreteck does remove carbon and if you clean your rifle as needed there should be no carbon build-up, unless the powder you are using is quite dirty. When I do use an abrasive (For carbon fouling only)it is for only 2-3 strokes with Iosso bore paste, as I stated earlier the fine abrasives in any paste will polish the barrel and alter the lapped finish that the barrel maker so carfully aplied to the bore during lapping. Generally though my custom barreled rifles will never see abrasive paste in there lifetime. The chemical copper removers are of such good quality that a properly conditioned barrel will clean up in less than 5 patches. [/QUOTE]
