[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 27565, member: 637"] Brent, thanks for the reply. Accuracy is not an issue right now. It seems to be shooting as well as it ever did. How did I determine the copper was coming from the throat area, well not with a bore scope. Can't afford one of those right now, maybe some day. When I had ran several wet patches and dry patches through the bore, it seemed like it felt a little rough in the throat, so I took the rifle out the cleaning rack and looked down the muzzle with a flash light and saw no copper anywhere. But since from the muzzle end you really can't see very much of the barrel, and with my old eyes I really can't see much from the breach end. I know I saw no copper in last 6" of the muzzle end so I soaked a patch in CR-10 and wetted the throat area and the first 6 to 10" of the barrel. Let it set for 15 minutes and wiped it out with a dry patch, and got a lot color on the patch. Did that three times before it came out clean. Then I did the same thing to the remainder of the barrel and got no copper so that is how I came to the conclusion it was in the throat area. I don't know if that makes sense or not but that is what I did. Again thanks for the reply. [/QUOTE]
