That's a set in stone fact now?
Several here have not had a problem, and the method to do so has been written here on multiple occasions.

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

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.

Just wondering if most folks have THE BRASS BRUSH IN THEIR CLEANING RITUAL. I ALWAYS HEAR I SWAB IT WITH THIS OR THAT AND NEVER HEAR ABOUT A BRUSH. I MYSELF ALWAYS USE ONE AFTER THE PATCHES COME OUT CLEAN AND THEN I WET IT DOWN AGAIN, AND MAN IT LOOKS LIKE STARTING ALL OVER . To ME THAT IS CLEAN; JUST WONDERING .

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...
