Yes. </div></div>
Thanks pharmer. I wasn't gonna make a big deal about it. I was showed that by a guy that is very good with rifles. He suggested only doing it on nasty barrels. I wouldn't do it every time you clean a gun, just when one is heavily fouled or a rifle that hasn't been cleaned in years. The small pieces I got out were tiny bits of copper not pieces of brass brush. Being around a machine shop every day I think I can tell the difference.

I wouldn't be concerned with the brass aspect of it either.
The revolutions of the drill would be my concern. I don't think it would take too much "over-pressure" to cause some serious problems.
Moose I understand what you're saying about older guns or ones that haven't been cleaned in a long time, but letting the solvent soak in and using elbow-grease will clean them to, without risking damage.
