[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1840652"] I've done enough machining in my career to know that copper is a tough material to cleanly cut and tend to agree with David Petzal's assessment that, "why worry about copper buildup if you don't let it build up?" A thorough cleaning, even with a brass brush, won't do much to steel and a thorough rinse of any solvent, followed by a good oiling is better than letting 50-100 rounds of copper build up, IMO. For me the need for a borescope will be, when I see my 1950 Rem model 722 in 257bob start going inaccurate, which hasn't happened yet. The guys that gave me that rifle never cleaned their rifles. When they gave it to me, the barrel was actually furry looking as you looked down it! [/QUOTE]
