Cleaning a rifled-barrel shotgun

[mlvaj]

Well, I just bought me a new Browning Silver Deer Satin in 20 ga. (Thanks, WIFE)!! Well, my question is that when I'm cleaning it, is it safe to use like a bore-snake style cleaner through the barrel since it has rifling in it? Or am I better off just using the old cloth/stick combination? Just wondering since I've never cleaned a fully rifled barrel shotgun before. Also, what is the best way of cleaning it if you don't mind me asking.

Clean it like you would any other barrel. If you are shooting sabots, which you should, get a solvent that cleans plastic fowling.

Could I use a brass brush that I use for smooth bores?

You can use anything you would use to clean any barrel. Boresnakes are nice, they are made for rifles too, shotgun is just a bigger diameter. Most everything will follow the rifling if you don't force it not to.
