[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2228516, member: 118038"] A lot of these suggestions are good ones. I had a used rifle I bought and here are before and after pictures. I found both Boretech CU 2+ and Montana Extreme work well. Shown in the pictures are before and after bore from borescope and blue colored patches. I like to patch it out using carbon cleaner or bore cleaner like a Hoppes 9 1st, then I like to plug the muzzle end with foam earplugs and set barrel in a pan with barrel end with plugs down in the pan, then fill with a funnel these copper removers, being careful not to get any in the breach or chamber. Soak 15 minutes. I then patch it out dry. Then I patch it out with 2-3 soaked patches of pure rubbing alcohol and then use regular Hoppes again to patch carbon out 1 more time til clean and dry. See attached pictures. Make sure to patch it out with liberal alcohol after using these copper cleaners. [/QUOTE]
