[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 2201995, member: 94632"] I use some modeling clay, like I use when bedding an action, to make a dam of sorts at the muzzle. Then put the barrel, bore down, in a plastic container, like a yogurt or sour cream container. Stand the barrel/rifle as vertical as possible and fill the barrel to the chamber with straight Simple Green. Let it soak for a day, bore brush and repeat. It’s hard to imagine any carbon fouling remaining after the second time. It’s the best method I’ve found, but I do NOT use ammonia based cleaners. They can cause pitting and introduce irreparable damage to your rifle. A lot of folks will chime in and say how it’s never happened to them, and so on, but it’s not hard to screw up your gear with ammonia. [/QUOTE]
