[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2775928, member: 78056"] It can take a lot of time but even carbon built up with the lands can be removed without scrubbing. Boretech Carbon Remover and Slip 2000 Carbon Killer both work well but it can take numerous soakings to loosen the carbon but again, it takes time and patience. I use one of those two to remove the carbon build up on my AR parts and if used regularly, before the build up gets bad, it removes it easily. The scratches in my barrel were certainly not something you would be able to see on a factory barrel. They were only visible on the hand lapped Hart barrel (which hadn't even been fired). They were not visible after shooting and the first cleaning I did with Wipe Out. Again, most of my rifle bullets are moly coated and the moly itself can be a pain to remove if you want to take the barrel down to bare metal, which I did while checking for scratches. I don't generally take the moly layer off and have never had any trouble with build up. However, if the moly layer ever starts looking uneven, then I will take it all out, down to bare metal. No idea why it does that but it's happened a couple of times. I may switch to the Tubb coating and give that a try. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
