[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 1923072, member: 87188"] Sounds short. If the rifle has a longish history in service, you might think about securing some nitrile glove fingers over the muzzle and with a thick folded towel for the muzzle to rest on, clamp it to a work bench and fill the bore to chamber with Hoppes Benchrest 9 and let it soak at least over night. I do it about 16 hrs min on real problem guns. Then drain it and using a bore guide, brush it repeatedly with a bronze-phos brush. I hate that part but it is necessary sometimes. If its a long history gun, I bet you get surprised by the chamber dimension after this kind of cleaning. I’ve seen it change 0.040”. [/QUOTE]
