[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1282119, member: 30902"] You will almost certainly ruin your barrel if you keep using the strong ammonia on it. I would quit that ASAP and use something that will nullify it's effects. Not that I'd recommend it to anyone else but I had a bore than was so rough it looked like a sewer pipe and would copper up so fast it really NEEDED to be cleaned about every 15-20 rounds or it would go bad fast. After reading several articles and posts about lapping the bore again with various things I did so by swabbing the bore with fine lapping compound then pull a loose patch back through it to remove the excess oil and fired a shot. I did this the same way for about 20 rounds and gave it a very thorough cleaning. It's done nothing but get better since. "Tubb's Final Finish" may be something to consider but before doing anything I'd suggest getting a gunsmith to bore scope it and tell you what they see and would recommend. [/QUOTE]
