[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1493979, member: 27307"] This is one of the drawbacks to McGowan barrels, they are not real top-of-the-line quality no matter what folks want to post about how wonderful theirs is. You might consider using something along the lines of Iosso Bore Cleaner and Polishing Paste [URL]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1014746351/iosso-bore-cleaning-and-polishing-compound-paste-1-1-2-oz-tube[/URL] It's available from many suppliers, Midway was just first in the list. I have used a nylon brush slightly undersized with a cotton patch wrapped around it with a thin layer of paste on the patch. This is a non-abrasive cleaner but will remove fouling and do a little smoothing without harm to the lands and grooves. Stay off the crown and the throat of the chamber. Mark your rod with tape so as not to exceed either point. You might be surprised. If, on the other hand you want to try another powder, Re-23 might be a little more gentle on the lands and grooves.
