[QUOTE="AZ82New, post: 2448508, member: 120858"] I bought a cheap bore scope on Amazon. I did not find a carbon ring. What I did find, was quite a bit of copper in the last third of the barrel. No doubt because I have a bore brush that is too short so I was focusing on the first two thirds of the barrel. Second, the first three inches or so of the barrel is darker in color than the rest of the barrel. I’m assuming that’s carbon. Hoppes first do a **** thing. I scrubbed and scrubbed. So I’m hopeful that iosso or JB will do the trick. Amazon says I have to wait a couple weeks until it arrives. I also ordered a 44 inch, one piece cleaning rod. When all this gets here, I’ll be scrubbing that barrel for a while. Thank you everyone! From the action forward. So that’s what a carbon ring is? I googled images of “carbon ring” and then showed a thin black line in a bore. Apparently, I have a carbon ring and some copper build up. What causes this? The particular powder I am using? A quirk in this particular barrel? [/QUOTE]
