Excuse my ignorance, but I am new to guns and just learning.
I recently bought a S&W model 66, and I have cleaned it 2 times. I read or heard somewhere that one is not supposed to clean the barrel from the end toward the cylinder. Is this true?
Which the end of the gun, the muzzle or the breach?
How does one clean the barrel from the cylinder end?
I have some gun experience, so I do know that you should clean your gun after every use, and I have. But I have put the barrel rod/bronze brush in the barrel via the end, then pushed toward the cylinder. Is that wrong or right? I did not see any other way?
Thanks,
