[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 157678, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] Well what should I do though? What I've been doing is: I put some Remington 40x bore cleaner on a brush and brush 12 times. [/ QUOTE ] OK... [ QUOTE ] Then I take a patch of rem oil and run it through [/ QUOTE ] Oil does NOT clean! [ QUOTE ] Then 2 or 3 dry patches [/ QUOTE ] Dry patches do NOT clean!! [ QUOTE ] AFTER that I put a good amount of CLP on a patch and run it through. Let it sit for a bit. [/ QUOTE ] CLP does NOT clean!! [ QUOTE ] Then I put it down the bore (I have the aerosel can)- I let the CLP sit for 20mins or more [/ QUOTE ] CLP does NOT clean!! [ QUOTE ] After its done sitting I get a brush and put a little or no CLP on it and brush 12 times. [/ QUOTE ] CLP (even on a brush) does NOT clean! [ QUOTE ] Then put 2 or 3 patches through [/ QUOTE ] 2 or 3 dry patches do NOT clean!! [ QUOTE ] I keep seeing carbon (black) as far as I know. I haven't been doing this for a while and really don't know what to do. I also tried the Hoppe's Gun Cleaner today. I put a good amount on a patch, pushed it through the barrel. Let it sit for about 12 mins. Then I got a brush and brushed 12 times. Then I put 3 patches through and thats where I left off today... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Any help is appreciated. I really need help [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Thanks, Spades [/ QUOTE ] So far you have only done one cycle of cleaning (the first 12 stroke with bore cleaner)... you haven't even started cleaning it. Don't put any oil product in the bore until you are finished (and arguably not until you are going to store the riffle for extended periods). Use bore cleaner, and 10 to 12 strokes of a wet brush. Then wet patch it 3 or 4 times... if the last patch is not light gray, let it soak for an hour or two. Repeat the above until the last wet patch comes out gray. It will never come out white. Continue this sequence until the wet patches come out light gray... and there is no green on them. Run two dry patches, and you are done. If the barrel is Chromoly, and you live in a very humid area (like the gulf coast) run an oiled patch through it, or spray the barrel/chamber with a good oil, and put it away. Don't EVER use CLP, as it has Teflon in it and you DON'T want Teflon in the barrel, EVER!!! P.S... Some powders burn filthy, and can be a booger to clean... the above can take a day or more of 5 minutes every few hours. Often, guns are allowed to get so dirty, that the first good (thorough) cleaning is a painful ordeal... but if you stay on top of it, it gets easier each time (if done right). . [/QUOTE]
