[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2467617, member: 30902"] Just swab a bore heavily with a really wet patch of any good quality copper solvent, then stand it barrel down with the muzzle on a folded up paper towel that is setting on a paper plate. Periodically drop a little more in there with a dropper for a few hours. Remove and inspect the paper towel. You'll then know exactly what the copper looks like. I do this with my rifles as I clean them with foaming bore cleaners, it never lies and always let me know when it's pretty well cleaned. I'll then use a standard rodding technique but I wrap a patch around the bronze brush and repeat until nothing else comes out on a clean patch. [/QUOTE]
