[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1206654, member: 4191"] Yeah, I should have mentioned that my barrel was not mounted on the action. [B]shortgrass[/B] knew that. Not sure if the other readers could have known from my Post. Cleaning the barrel prior to screwing it back on the action allows more options for cleaning. Like messy soap and water bore brushings and hot water rinses. I placed the muzzle end down in the plastic bucket and made sure the barrel wouldn't fall over, and then had at it. I stood on an 8" tall step stool so that when I held the barrel in my left hand above the bottom of the bucket, the brass brush wouldn't bottom out in the bottom of the bucket when it popped out the muzzle end of the bore. This additional height helped ensure I didn't smash my brass bore brush into the base of the bucket, and bend it over at a 90 degree angle. Use a bore guide that fits snug into the chamber, and don't even waste any time with a nylon brush. I'd run a BTE or other bore cleaning solvent soaked patch or two out the muzzle end initially - just to remove any loose crud. Then start in with the brass bore brush and hot soapy water. I placed liquid dishwashing soap concentrate directly on the brass bore brush every time. So I wasn't just using a diluted soapy water mixture. I had suds blowing out both ends of the barrel. Then rinse everything off with hot water. I think I had at it five times with the liquid soap concentrate and the brass bore brush. By the 4th scrubbing, I was seeing much less fouling removal, based on the color of the suds (more whitish suds and less blackish staining) and the color of the rinse water in the bottom of the bucket.
