[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2665309, member: 108912"] I should clarify - I'm not saying the Wipe-out will get out all the copper in one soak. It may take multiple soaks. But you will not have to do any scrubbing. Shoot the foam into the bore, and let it sit overnight. Push a dry patch through the next morning. Comes out very blue, probably. Reapply and let it soak until nighttime, then push through a dry patch. Should come out less blue. Repeat until it comes out "no blue." There is essentially no work involved, just the soak time. Techniques. - Turn the rifle 90-180 degrees each application so the solution that "pools" in the downward portion of the barrel is in a different part of the barrel each time (for example, lay the rifle down with the ejection port facing upward for the first soak, and flip the rifle with the ejection port facing downward for the second). - Get a short (6" or so) piece of plastic tubing from the hardware store that is a tight fit over the nozzle of the Wipe-Out can. Insert this into the chamber until it snugs up into the throat, then give a short squirt to let the foam fill the barrel. - When you pull the plastic tube out of the chamber after the step above, immediately push a little wad of paper towel into the chamber to keep any of the Wipe-Out from leaking out that way (it will harm classic oil finishes on wood stocks - don't want it getting on the wood) After a hundred shots or so (earlier is fine too), consider the DBC treatment. Do a search on the 24HourCampfire forum for all you can stand to read on the DBC process and its results. Most important parts: 1) get the barrel no-kidding clean to bare steel first. Follow John Barsness' instructions which you will find in your search. (his handle is Mule Deer on the 24CF forum.) 2) make sure the barrel is completely degreased after cleaning to bare steel. 3) the rest of the process is easy. Best of luck. Rex [/QUOTE]
