[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1765138, member: 13833"] Just a side note here: Carbon rings can be a REAL problem and are often overlooked or people think they have thoroughly cleaned the barrel but the ring is still there. I've learned to do two things to keep this from developing in the first place. I only trim . 005" from chamber length which cuts down on the area where carbon can start to accumulate. Second, I will soak a patch with kroil and stuff it into the neck/throat area and leave it overnight or even longer periodically to remove any build up before it becomes a problem. You can usually rotate a bore brush after its softened and remove it. After you think its its perfectly clean, you can soak another patch and leave it over night. Carefully push it back out from the muzzle and see if there is any black on the patch. If there is, you have to repeat the process. Ive seen it that bad! [/QUOTE]
