Tells me that using Silicone spray in your inner barrel is a bad idea, instead you should be using Soap and hot water. Is this true?

Yea actually it is.

Why? Every where I hear that silicon spray is what you want to use. Why else do they sell it in a spray form if it isn't for that?

You don't want to keep silicon in your barrel as it will affect accuracy. When your cleaning it though, its great.

Its kind of like the Government...they tell you stuff so you believe what they want you believe however it may not be true they just want you to side with them...Manufactures enjoy your money...

Yeah I spray a paper towel strip with sprayed with silicon oil to clean it. I don't keep it lubed up with the stuff or anything. That is ok correct?

[Partiro]

just take a tiny piece of cloth pre-rinse it with water/soap and wring it, put it on your cleaning rod and run it through gently and you should see the dirt come out... I hardly ever use silicone oil..

The goal is actually quite simple: have nothing left over in your barrel. Silicon residue will mess with your accuracy, as will dust from a paper towel. The best way to overcome the paper towel issue is to fire ~50 rounds after you get done cleaning, just to make sure that all of the dust is gone.
