[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 517452, member: 29281"] I'll bet the barrel is pitted or perhaps someone neglected to clean it for a LONG time. I'd also recommend Wipe Out. It might take several days but it will clean your barrel eventually. I put it in and leave it in for at least 30 to 45 minutes and, when I go to bet, it stays in overnight. Once you get the barrel real clean, shoot it and if it promptly fouls up again and is hard to clean, I would say your problem is a pitted or rough barrel. The solution would be a new barrel. Also, take a light and look down the barrel after cleaning. It should look completely bright, shiny and smooth with no projections. If there is junk in the barrel after cleaning, it means there are rough spots that are catching little hunks of your cleaning patches. [/QUOTE]
