[QUOTE="Tatergunner, post: 2241504, member: 111850"] Try patching with Kroil. Soak the Kroil into the lands and grooves via wet patches and let sit overnight. Kroil really does creep into everything, as they advertise. I recommend standing the gun muzzle down on a towel in a corner. Then brush and patch with your favorite non-destructive bore cleaner. Worked for me to clean up the bore of an old (1907) Win Model 94 in caliber 32 Win Special. When I got the gun it came with a box of really bad hand loads that I dared not shoot, Loaded with undersize .308 lead slugs into 30-30 brass that looked to have been crimped with a deep well socket, as the crimp was hex shaped. The bore looked like it had been slicked out black from shooting with undersized lead projectiles and the consequential bypass powder burn. After the Kroil soak, the bore fouling came out in chunks. BTW, after the bore clean up, my 32 Win Spec loads with 165 grain Hornady FTX projectiles print good groups at 100 yards with iron sights. [/QUOTE]
