What should be used to clean the barrel of a firearm?

A steel rod
A clean, dry cloth
A proper size cleaning rod with a brush
A piece of wire

The correct answer is: A proper size cleaning rod with a brush

A proper size cleaning rod with a brush is the correct choice for cleaning the barrel of a firearm. This option ensures that you are using the appropriate tools for the job, as a cleaning rod with a brush is specifically designed to effectively remove fouling and debris from the barrel without causing damage. Using a steel rod or a piece of wire can scratch or damage the barrel, affecting the accuracy and functionality of the firearm. While a clean, dry cloth can be used to wipe down the exterior and other parts of the firearm, it is not sufficient for cleaning the barrel thoroughly.
