I have two standard 16" BCM ELW rifles that I bought for my young sons. I have shot each one about 120 rounds to verify function and zero the sights (Fed XM193, Speer GD.) Prior to shooting I field stripped and cleaned/lubed the BCG and wiped the preservative from the exterior (Slip cleaner and EWL.) I did not touch the bores, just visually verified they were clear.
I am not much of a cleaner of my guns, but these two will be sitting for years before being used. Do I need to clean the bores? I have a cheap Wheeler stainless steel multi-piece cleaning rod I could use. I don't want to scratch the chrome lining or damage anything.
