[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 901048, member: 59039"] After an exhausting cleaning I finally got the copper out. Took the gun to my gunsmith and the barrel is junk. Someone used a cleaner like sweets or something and etched the whole barrel. I left his place, 20 miles up the road found a patch of dirt to shoot. I set milk jugs at 200, 300, 350, and 400. I hit the first jug. Cleaned the gun. Shot the second, cleaned the gun. Shot the third, cleaned the gun. Shot at the fourth and missed. No biggie. Got home and like a dork put up a target at 140 (end of the pasture) and shot 3 back to back. .91". The barrel is already showing copper. So my plan is to just clean the stupid thing a lot! I gave up on the mystery cleaner and picked up some Montana bmg. Worked slow, but worked. Like 5 cycles of the process and a pile of blue patches. [/QUOTE]
