I finally went out today and shot my Ruger 10/22 for the first time since installing a thumbhole stock and Green Mountain 20" SS fluted barrel.
The results were impressive with most groups being one ragged hole at 50 yards.
When cleaning time came I ran a brass jag with patch and brass rod through the barrel and removed metal shavings! I was very careful around the crown but the jag seemed to hit a "rough spot" about 2 inches into the muzzle. I have always heard brass will not damage stainless barrels because it is softer than the barrel material. Is this true or have I damaged my barrel?
I tried shining a light into the muzzle but the diameter is so small I couldn't tell anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
