[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 339969, member: 22069"] Jim: When I bought my first centerfire rifle, I regret to say that I made pretty much every mistake in the book where barrel maintenance is concerned. My first centerfire rifle still shoots OK by normal hunting standards, but it has always had copper fouling problems (now I know why). When it comes to assessing the damage caused by my ignorance, however, I have some questions: 1. How can I determine the extent of the damage to the bore? 2. If, as seems likely, the bore is damaged, can the bore be restored? 3. Might I be better off to simply re-barrel? Thanks in advance for your advice. [/QUOTE]
