    Going to sound like a dumb question but.

    I used computer duster to clean out dust/crud out of my bore on my 700. Some frost came out and came into contact with the barrel and rifling. Am I going to be ok ? Or should I expect warpage lol.

      Yes. It's alcohol-based probably, so that shouldn't be a problem. And it takes a lot of sustained freezing to affect a barrel, as far as I'm aware (not a metallurgist).

      Your main problem is that it probably didn't clean the bore at all.

        If you want to clean the bore use a patch and solvent of foaming bore cleaner.
        A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

          I used a patch and it had some lint residue. Hence why I thought using compressed air might work.

            If some means just a little, you're fine. Prolonged exposure would be needed to cause an issue.

                As long as you didn't drop it on the carpet you should be fine.

                      might want to re-lube it though. The freezing will turn to water. You might not see that there is water on the surface.

                        Lint adds to accuracy.
                        Leave it in the barrel.

                            Get some higher quality cotton patches and you won't have to worry about the lint. I found some at my local range that don't fall apart and leave lint everywhere but they're unmarked so I can't help you there. It took me years to find patches that don't disintegrate upon being touched lol, but they do exist.

                              The thermal effects are negligible vs. the amount of metal.
