[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1398761, member: 12995"] Not trying to be offensive, or sound like a a-hole, but how do you know it's not what you're using that's the problem with cleaning them? Some barrels really need some serious and harsh cleaners to get them cleaned-out...I've seen it with factory barrels of all brands. Also, once you finally get it cleaned-out, you could always hand-lap the barrel to smooth out some of the tooling marks to help eliminate the copper buildup issue being so bad. If hand-lapping is done right, it will be a positive thing. But it is possible to do it wrong, or go overboard with it, so if you've never done it, have a professional gunsmith do it, and don't ever let anyone at a big box store (cabelas, BPS, F&S, etc...) touch your rifle. They might claim to have a "gunsmith" on staff...Run far, and run fast! And go to a REAL professional gunsmith. [/QUOTE]
