[QUOTE="Triple BB, post: 1646543, member: 947"] A fiend inherited a Sako from his grandfather who bought it in the 60's. After cleaning it, the thing was spraying bullets everywhere. I checked it over and spent more time trying to get the copper out. After more of the same, I suggested he take it to a local smith. The smith scoped it. He called my buddy and said he'd never seen a barrel so copper fouled and advised it wouldn't be cost effective for him to try and clean it. After doing some research, it looked like grampa didn't own a cleaning kit and never cleaned his guns. So it looks like these rifles need cleaned somewhere between every relay and 50 years...
