[QUOTE="XParaman, post: 1420418, member: 11367"] Two years ago I purchased a supposedly new Remington 700 5r rifle from a company In Wy. I have had some very serious medical issues and have been unable to go out and shoot the rifle. No hunting, nothing. So, I am beginning to feel better so I thought I would start getting the rifle ready so that when the weather got better, we have been getting snow, I would go out and finally get to put some rounds down range. I have to load some rounds and get it all set up. Well, I always clean my rifles before going out. I used some Bore tech to run some patches through the barrel, and low and behold the first patch came out completely green. I had soaked the patch and ran it through, nothing special. But, it was evident that there was a lot of copper in this barrel. After several more patches and a nylon bore brush it started to lose the green color on the patches. My though is that ths rifle has been shot quite a bit. I sent an email to Remington to see how many if any rounds they shoot in production rifles, if they do, to insure that it is not there. I also sent an email to the company who sold me the rifle to see if they buy rifles from other dealers. This was supposed to be a new in box rifle. I did not want to make accusations at this point. But has anyone seen this much copper coming our of a supposed new in box rifle? I have not seen this much copper coming out of a rifle after going to the range and shooting. What is your opinion?
