[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2240896, member: 118038"] Yes, I would put some earplugs in the end of the barrel, turn it upside down, barrel to the floor and fill from the breach full of CLR carbon cleaner. I would let it sit 15-20 min, but don't let it sit more than that if its not a stainless steel bbl. which it is not. Then try cleaning it again, and see what happens? If you know someone who has a bore scope that will fit a .22, then maybe you should take a look inside that way to further determine what is exactly going on there? Sounds like it has been handed down 3-4 generations and NEVER cleaned EVER. It might take 2 soakings of CLR 15-20 min. followed by patching out. If the barrel is that old and is worn out, by the time you get it stripped clean, it may not shoot worth a **** until it gets some re-fouling, and even then may not. [/QUOTE]
