[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2617160, member: 63925"] I had a stubborn old rifle a buddy dropped off to me to clean since he gave up. I looked into muzzle and OMG it was horrific. I didn't even push brush down bore. I plugged muzzle and poured Hoppes 9 down barrel until chamber 1/2 full. I let it sit for 2 full weeks😂 and when I unplugged muzzle yuch came out. I then started brush and got it down to copper. CR10 got it to clean bore. I bet I had hundreds of strokes down barrel. It was an old 721 that shot pretty darn good afterwards. My point is sometimes patience can help getting barrels cleaned by using old school let the barrel soak for long periods of time measured in weeks not days. My buddy was going to use CLR but since it was CM I told him no so he said then you clean it! [/QUOTE]
