[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 1833982, member: 33622"] Cleaning solutions today are far more efficient than in the past. I myself can't see gun oils and a brush accomplishing much. If someone has not cleaned a barrel in 10 yrs and strips it clean, going to need a few fouling shots to bring it back in. After cleaning barrels and muzzle brakes, I feel it is almost impossible not to have copper fouling if you have carbon fouling, or vise versa. Though I also think some carbon remover products, if let to soak some, get under a fair share of copper and it gets pushed out, and that may be all that is needed to keep the rifle shooting within it's expectations. I know we all differ on barrel break in, but I find if I keep copper in the barrel to a minimum before a barrel speeds up, I clean it less down the road. With the cost of that new Teslong borescope, and it's capabilities, not calling anyone a fool here, but it to me would be foolish not to own one if one is concerned about a barrels condition, and how it performs in differing states of fouling. Some powders foul the first part of barrel, others the muzzle end. EDIT: If you are not getting a complete burn of your powder in the barrel and the muzzle end carbon fouls. over time, there is going to be copper in that mix too. One only needs to fire it long enough to get false pressure indicators, and with a drop in velocity and accuracy. [/QUOTE]
