I have an O/U with threaded removable chokes (browning cynergy) that I usually shoot with a full choke in one barrel and a modified in the other.
I have 2 12g cleaning jags I use to push a patch down the barrel, one is solid brass but is very loose/not snug. The other is aluminum but has 3 rubber o rings and is very snug.
The problem is that after a long day of shooting, I can barely get the jag with rubber o rings through the full choke and it almost feels like its going to get stuck.
After the first few passes it gets better but its always very snug. The modified choke is not too much of a problem.
Is it ok to clean the chokes outside of the gun and exposing the threads inside the barrel to the solvent/brass brush?
Also I notice that I am getting brass metal flakes coming off my cleaning rod near the breach as I am hitting the extractors with the rod as I am pushing it down the barrel.
I try my best to keep the rod dead center on the barrel as I am pushing it down and bringing it back but am not always successful.
Any tips on how to stop this from happening? I think that if I can clean the barrels with the chokes out it will be easier to control the rod since the force needed to get it through the barrel will be much less.
Thank you for any input.
