[QUOTE="jmason, post: 269085, member: 10486"] Thanks for the replies. It is going to get rebarreled, I just didn't plan on it acting up before I get my other rifle back from the smith. I will try some different cleaning solvents to see if it helps. Right now to clean it I have been using gunslick foam. It takes a lot of work to get to the point my patches come out clean, but I didn't care about the time involved as long as it came clean. I soak it a couple times for a couple hours, and brush to get most of it out then I let it go over night. Normally after the over night soak it comes clean to the point there is no more powder or copper fouling showing up on the patches. It seems after the first couple soaks all the powder comes out then I just have to deal with the copper. The barrel has always been a picky barrel but would let me get a lot more shooting in before it would go south. [/QUOTE]
