[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2201420, member: 63925"] This sounds like a good barrel soak for days with a solvent that does [B]NOT[/B] contain ammonia. Stand it vertical, plug muzzle with cork or similar plug in a plastic container for secondary containment. This is not a nylon brush bore but bronze all the way. I would soak at least 2-3 days. Then I would start cleaning. Maybe do multiple long term soaks and then cleaning. Let the solvent start the penetration through long long term soaking. This will not be cleaned quickly since it was accumulated over its lifespan so clean same way. I had a friend who abused a rifle and shot like crap. Couple weeks of multiple overnight soaks with Hoppes 9 plus rigorous cleaning brought it back to decent shooter. [/QUOTE]
