Exactly correct, just because some do not follow directions or know how to do something they think it can't be done.

I thought I would get a rise out of someone but I guess i was wrong?LOL! I use brushes myself but only on barrels I can pass it through. A brush on rifles that haven't been cleaned properly in the past. It saves time with the patches.
No.
No I do Not have a brass (or nylon( brush in my cleaning kit.
I have had to shoot out too many for others and learned from their misfortune.
One guy who brought a Stuck Brush to me said "It's what I've always done, it's what all the others do.."...then.....'HELP, IT WONT COME OUT!"
In my kit I have TOW and a Tow Worm, I also have some course hemp canvas patch material.
With that and a proper cleaning process - all my barrels are nice and shiny...I have never experienced rust either except for a couple gifted to me with rust - they rust No More.
Now, to be honest; I do have a Separate cleaning kit, it has a few brass and nylon brushes of various sizes, it has some Other cleaning fluids....but what I use them for we do not discuss here.
*Brass brushes are intended to pass Through the barrel and then pulled back in to remove....but I have been taught to pass it through from the Breach, then remove the brush from rod and pull 'brushless' rod out - repeat if necessary.....but we Don't discuss that here...

Best way to keep a brush from getting stuck in a barrel is don’t put a brush in the barrel.
