Barrel pics Teslong

[nksmfamjp]

I probably took the wrong pics, but tell me what you see.

It is a Brux 300 Sherman.

I took these pics to decide if it is clean. Patches are white, but im not sure if it is clean or not. I see a touch of copper, but can I even get that out? Iosso?

I guess it has been a while as I did not know it had that rough spot just in front of the case mouth.

Little bit of copper. Run it!

 

[ShtrRdy]

That actually looks really good.

 

[Ol' Red]

I would be happy with that.

 

[nksmfamjp]

I brushed and cleaned again! I'll post follow up pics!

How many rounds with that alligator in the throat...

I would be happy with that, the copper is no big deal, a quick dose of copper remover will have it gone.
Here's a few before and after shots.

Cheers.
P.S. Different barrels, but you get the idea.

Looks like you have some carbon build up in the barrel. Probably won't hurt accuracy. But my thought is carbon attracts moisture which is never a good thing. Some Iosso or JB bore paste usually makes quick work removing it.

Please don't tell my barrels that! I have several that are on 250-350 rounds and they never argue about being cleaned. Also have others that are 80 round rifles. Let the rifle tell you.

Copper is gone, but no way to get carbon out….hmm

tried Sharpshoot-r, tried JB's…..might try Iosso, but I just want to shoot. Look ok otherwise?

throat:

about 1/3 to 1/2 way down

That carbon just doesn't come out for me. My WSM barrel has it too.

Is it running an kroil patch followed by a dry patch that causes it? Or??

Let some shooters choice foam sit in it overnight. That will soften it up to hit with a brush.

I use a dedicated carbon remover.I am almost out of KG 1 Carbon Remover (need to re-order) but also have Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover that works almost as good and easy to find at LGS.
I use a loose patch soaked with it and let it sit for an hour or so and then scrub with a brush and then a tight patch usually takes it out but for stubborn carbon a couple of times gets it done in most cases.
I would not leave Kroil or any oil in a barrel and shoot with it in there.

Only thing that gets the carbon out for me is CLR. I remove the muzzle brake and soak it while I work on the barrel. Seems to work well. Gotta do a good job cleaning the CLR out after you're done.

This the best cleaning system I have found to date. It gets all of my barrels back to a mirror finish in no time.
