Good evening. I was using an Otis pull through cable to clean my bore. The plastic patch holder stripped out of the end of the cable and the holder was stuck with a patch near the chamber. I ended up grabbing a coated steel cleaning rod from the store. I stuck it through the muzzle and was able to push patch holder out of the chamber. In the process of inserting the rod into the muzzle I think I lightly bumped the crown. Is it possible for the crown to be that easily damaged? Would I see a chip or something if I did? I feel like an idiot and should've tried to find a long wooden dowel or something but it's done. This barrel shoots fantastic(haven't shot since this incident) and the the end of the cleaning rod doesn't look damaged, so I'm probably overreacting, right? Thanks.
