[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1904278, member: 9308"] The resolution of the images isn't good enough for me to venture an educated guess, but based on what you wrote, it seems like a really thorough cleaning is in order. Carbon is an itch with a B to get out, and most say that [B]C4 Bore Tech carbon remover[/B] is a good product for routine cleaning, but once the carbon gets so thick and embedded, some [B]BROWNELLS J-B NON-EMBEDDING BORE CLEANING COMPOUND[/B] with a lot of scrubbing, scrubbing and more scrubbing is going to be needed to finally get it out. Did I mention it's going to take a lot of elbow grease and time to get the carbon truly out? This isn't going to be a quicky job. Once the carbon is out of the barrel and throat, it's time to tackle any copper build-up and [B]WIPE OUT[/B] (left over night) or [B]Bore Tech Cu+2 Copper Remover[/B] seem to do the trick. Another great product for copper is [I]Sweet's 7.62 Bore Cleaning Solvent[/I], but you [I][U]can't leave it in the bore for more than 15 minutes[/U][/I]. I'm pretty certain once the carbon and copper are gone, the gun will shoot fine again and the pressure problems will be a thing of the past. It's just going to take time and work. Thankfully your bore scope will help you track how you are doing on that carbon in the throat/leade area. Many a person has written how they THOUGHT they were cleaning their guns really well only to get that Tesalong bore scope off Amazon and see how much 'stuff' was still in the barrel! [/QUOTE]
