[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 291839, member: 17125"] I was using Hoppe's #9 which has ammonia but I never left it in the barrel for any amount of time. Which is why I think I never did get that barrel clean. When I was cleaning like mad I ran out and started using some old army issue solvent that seems to be working better than Hoppe's. Here is what it looked like yesterday, it looks better today but my videos from today are bad. [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKwb_UZsQts"]YouTube - Better Looking Barrel[/URL] A lot of the strange lines on the rifling is the reflection of the other side of the barrel. Here is a pic from today of the barrel with a little less optical illusion. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/justgoto/shooting/MVI_4369.jpg[/IMG] I think I will get it as good as I can by the next cleaning. I am going to take another shot tomorrow and clean it with the army issue stuff and hope it is as good as it get by then. It has been shooting well through all of this.
