[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2309971, member: 21361"] Recently I purchased Savage LRP in .243 at such a low price I was expecting a worn out barrel, and also ordered a match barrel to replace the factory barrel. The rifle arrived and the accuracy was medicocre. The Shilen match barrel arrived and we took off the existing barrel yesterday and replaced it. With the barrel removed we ran a borescope into it and I found the throat was fine, but there was copper fouling everywhere in patches in both lands and grooves. I figure with some aggressive scrubbing I can remove all this copper, but am curious about this copper buildup. Where do you expect copper buildup in a barrel to be? Since there was copper nearly everywhere in this barrel, but none in the leade, is this condition common? WW [/QUOTE]
