[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 300333, member: 2736"] Most of the time the problem will be fowling and a back to bright metal cleaning is all that it needs. Get a strong solvent like Sweets and work it over (Don't leave it in over 30 or 40 minutes at a time) and keep going until you don't get any color on your patches. Every now and then use a swab soaked in solvent to wet the barrel let stand and then patch it to see if there is any fouling left. Bronze brushes are good to scrub with but they can give false readings because the solvent dissolves some of the brush while cleaning. after you stop getting any color then use a mild solvent like Hoppes #9 to remove any of the strong solvents. If it still won't shoot then look at the other methods mentioned. I have saved many barrels buy doing a good cleaning. But be prepared to season the barrel with a few shots to get back the accuracy you once enjoyed. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
