[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 185455, member: 313"] Put the barrel in a bucket of ammonia?????????? I don't think I'd go that route that if I were you. Really fouled bores often have fouling in layers. Copper over carbon over, etc. I have noticed that really stubborn fouling often requires the use of alternating between the cleaning methods. Try an agressive copper remover like CR-10. Then switch to a mechanical cleaner like JB compound, then switch back again. Another good alternative is using Wipe-Out bore foam along with their Accelerator. Just apply the Accelerator and then spray in the foam. Leave it in for several hours or overnight and then switch to the JB, if necessary. The nice thing about bore foam is that you don't need to do any elbow work. Stick to it and you'll get there. Weatherby once told me that 75% of the rifles that were returned to the factory for accuracy problems only needed a thorough cleaning. [/QUOTE]
