My friend's grandpa has a cleaning kit for his .22 rifles, and he makes me clean the barrel after each session. Easy way to see if there's any residue in the barrel:

1. Empty the gun. Use cleaning kit
2. tear a strip off a piece of paper
3. open the bolt, and place the paper in so you can still see the breech.
4. position the rifle under a light source, so the light hits the paper. Look down the barrel, from the muzzle. You should be able to see the rifling, and the residue on it, if any.

Is you don't want to do all this, buy one of those lights with the flexible bodies and shine it down the breech. Then look down the barrel.

If you can see a bullet in the barrel, you didn't do Step 1. In which case, close the bolt and pull the trigger.

Just remove the bolt, and point the barrel at a light.

Excuse me? I hope you are kidding... In order to get into the position of looking down the barrel the bolt must be at least pulled back. If the round doesn't eject when the bolt is pulled all the way back your extractor is more than likely broken. I would cycle the bolt again. If the round doesn't come out the second time then your best bet is to remove the magazine and the bolt, then use a cleaning rod to push the round out of the chamber.

I use tons of patches and a rod. :/

Oh lol, that 'you're doing it wrong' poster, she got immediately pistol whipped after that or was it backhanded?
Oh well. Anyway, the handgun jammed and the 'teacher' got yelled at for not teaching the kid wtf to do when it jams.

Unless it's an autoloader...

Of course. Did nobody else get that he was saying "You're a retard, it's right there in black and white and you didn't do it, so shoot yourself"?

I've always done it the other way, but then again, I have a bolt-action. I pop out the bolt, aim the gun at a lightbulb, and you can see s**t clear as day. 'S how I came to discover that one run-through with a boresnake can clean an AR barrel of several hundred rounds of residue in a single pull.

Oh, no, he has a boresnake for it. He has me do this AFTER using it, to see if anything got left behind.

I should have mentioned this sooner.

This is what I use when I clean my Mauser.

Really?
This is what I use.

Although I don't use the oiler from this one. I borrow the one from the Mauser. It's just so much easier to use.

The cleaning kit for any one of my rifles includes a boresnake, a can of INOX, and a gun brush. The kit for my AR also includes a razor blade and a jar of carburetor cleaner, but that's just for those stubborn carbon deposits.
