[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1074136, member: 48043"] If a problem like the fast fouling I experienced comes up I'd say soaking with a creeping oil would help with carbon removal to assess the damage. I've already done this so it won't help to debate that. I'm going to make sure the barrel is 100% fouling free, use a mild abrasive to massage the throat until it visibly improves, then assess accuracy. The rifling itself is in very good condition, so a bit of throat work shouldn't do much harm. If the accuracy is sub par ( or I can not get the damage erased), I've got a 'smith lined up to do a set-back for a reasonable cost. I have to assess whether the action needs trueing first though. The rifle has a moderate issue with the top end alignment so I'll have to measure to find out where the miss-alignment is. I may be better off scrapping the barrel and replacing it. [/QUOTE]
