[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1956794, member: 64108"] The nasty chatter is a typical button rifled factory barrel and is why most recommend a barrel break in, to knock some of that nastiness down for future ease of cleaning, not accuracy gains. The normal carbon and copper fowling ~generally won't effect accuracy unless it's excessive but the carbon ring in the throat will( note this is hard carbon, much different than the fowling further down in the bore). Solvents alone generally will not get rid of a carbon ring, an abrasive needs to be used(JB, Isso, etc.). Consider cleaning just the first ~4" to more often to prevent the carbon ring from forming, solvents can keep it from forming but once it is there they won't remove it. As to the stuff in the end of the barrel I tend to think moisture was trapped underneath some type of fowling and eroded some barrel material. Some of these ugly chattered barrels can really shoot well so don't be afraid of them, same with firecracking. [/QUOTE]
