For years barrels have been cleaned, it was just after that I started collecting barrel cleaning equipment. I have a few jointed/section cleaning systems that came in the butt of a rifle. I found it necessary to assemble and then grind the joints smooth and or tape the joints. and then there was the rifle, a few would not allow the rod to fit the chamber from the chamber end, it was from the front only.
And then came all the excuses for muzzle ware. It seemed all of that sawing back and forth was blamed for most of it. And then I thought about it and decided I could do a better job so I made a barrel cleaning de-vise. The thought came to me while dumpster diving.
It did not matter if I cleaned the barrel from the throat end or the muzzle end. And I could use the same system on rifles that could not be cleaned from the throat end.
