    We used to tell them, especially when the first AR15's came ion stream that it wasn't the worst thing in the world to break off a pullthrough or get one stuck in the bore. But to walk down from the Company lines to the Armourers shop - or if they were on the ranges to leave it safe and bring it in afterwards. But that meant telling the section or platoon commanders or whoever...... And they'd ALWAYS either a) tell them to go away and try again but this time harder (but using fewer words......) or try to do it themselves. And that's when the problems started. I've seen them roasted over the fire to scorch/burn them out..... nails pushed down, short lengths of the cleaning rode stuck down from the opposite way.

    Didn't use Yokes for obvious reasons on webbing in the Oolloo on 44 Pattern!
