[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1685536, member: 9308"] There was a thread on here a few months ago about a gentleman who was trying to remove a carbon ring from his rifle. Pressure issues, just as you describe. He had a bore scope so was able to see it. The post was about all the things he tried to get rid of it. Bore scrubbing with various solvents, to include many specifically designed to remove carbon, had no effect. In the end, the only thing that got rid of it was JB Bore Paste and elbow grease, over and over, until it was scoured out. I suspect you are in the same boat. You clean and just enough carbon gets removed that all seems fine...at first. Then enough builds back up on top of the really hard, baked on 'ring' that is already there - after just a few shots - and your pressure problems return. When you add in "using a suppressor", that ups the odds this is the problem. The "other" factor was the powder being used. And I don't know what you are using and it doesn't really matter at this point. But in his case, he had switched to a new powder and it was fouling his gun much faster than his previous powder, which is how the carbon ring got a 'head start' on him and became such a bear to remove. His previous powder and cleaning routine were fine. With the 'new' powder, the carbon buildup was happening much quicker and it got 'baked in' and nothing removed it until he got an abrasive paste and scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed. Said it was great therapy for his recently operated on shoulder, ha! I know you are frustrated. I feel for you. But I'm betting you have a nice, hard, baked in carbon ring going. And it is going to take a lot of work to remove it, which isn't what you want to hear. But it sure beats throwing the whole works into the ocean...right? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
