[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 3006879, member: 68758"] I'd put whatever time is needed into trying to get the bore and chamber cleaned out- and shooting it- to see if it's worth the effort to address cosmetics. It's encouraging that whatever the "gunk" is seems to be removable and non-corrosive based on the boltface, but cleaning the bore back to bright may not be as easy. Did you try different solvents? Even strong stuff like acetone and brake cleaner won't hurt stainless and it might be easier as well. Not a fan of abrasive bore cleaners unless there's no other option. [/QUOTE]
