[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1695449, member: 9308"] There was a whole thread on this forum a few months ago by a gentleman trying to clean out a stubborn carbon ring from his rifle. He tried all the 'carbon' remover potions and in the end, the only thing that really worked was JB Bore Paste and scrubbing, scrubbing, and more scrubbing. Eventually he got the carbon out and the pressure issues he had went away. Some powders will lead to carbon rings faster than others. Folks will clean more frequently after dealing with a carbon ring, to avoid dealing with another one because...they are a pain. Here is some info on carbon rings: [URL]https://criterionbarrels.com/media/criterion-recommended-rifle-barrel-cleaning-procedures/[/URL] [B]"The Chamber[/B] Proper cleaning of the chamber is a critical component of a general cleaning procedure. [B][I]Carbon rings can build up near the neck and throat of the chamber wall, leading to feeding malfunctions and pressure spikes inside the chamber[/I][/B]." Then there is this: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/barrel-carboned-up-thoughts-on-gumout-regane.219807/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
