   Total newbie question here. I cleaned my Bushmaster XM15 for the first time after just taking it out of the box. I should have read the directions better (and had a few less beers.) but I'm not sure if I reversed the direction of the Bore Brush. One thing I DO remember is that I only brushed it one time, after I swabbed it.
   Did I just totally mess up my new AR and will it explode?
   This has to be the stupidest of questions after the stupidest of mistakes

First off, welcome aboard

Your new XM15 has a chrome-lined chamber and bore that is very, very tough.

You didn't hurt it-trust me. Your new rifle will last a lifetime.

    Thanks SO much for a quick reply.
    I figured as much, but many of the other warnings in the manual (DANGEGR! THE GUN WILL EXPLODE IF YOU DO THIS!!) made me think twice before I put something up to my face I wasn't sure us. Regardless of my drunken first field strip, I am a wary person...


   Cheers!

No problem! Now get out there and enjoy the hell out of it

It warms my heart every time someone becomes a new AR owner.
