[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2773377, member: 122164"] I am sorry to say, many think like this. Unfortunately, when the accuracy falters, Often the carbon is cooked on so hard that you will not be able to get it out without using extreme measures. The foundation of cleaning is good bronze bristle brushes, Pro Shot and Dewey are the best, with Timpton having 20% more bristles. The brush does most of the heavy work on getting the carbon out, and within 60 cycles of the brush, the brush dia has been reduced dramatically, Best screw on a new brush. I have never seen the years and years thing. By the time the carbon is gone, copper was removed much sooner unless it is a really rough barrel. One other thing, in humid or wet climates, water can get under the copper, and your barrel will rust like crazy. [/QUOTE]
