[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 767527, member: 13833"] You need to clean it before you send it in. I think you can do a good job if you take the time and use the right technique. You can only melonite with a barrel with few rounds through it or you can do more harm than good. Get some bore tech eliminator and clean until you get no blue/green color on the patch (make sure you use a brush and rod that don't have copper/brass in them which will give you a false reading. I also use IOSSO bore paste if necessary to scrub the last of the copper out and it also smoothes the bore a little. When I get it perfectly clean, I run a couple of patches with rubbing alcohol and then dry patch. You should be good to go. p.s. Make sure after all the scrubbing that you get any residue out of the neck and throat area. I usually wrap a patch around a brush and rotate it in the chamber before the final alcohol treatment......Rich [/QUOTE]
