Bore scope question. 6.5 PRC

[806 guns]

I have a 6.5 PRC barrel that i bore scoped before cleaning and think i have a carbon ring building up.

After a light cleaning

New brass in chamber with camera from the muzzle

What am i seeing and what needs addressed? Newb here. Looks like fire cracking starting for new. Just not sure on what a carbon ring is exactly. Thanks

Definitely starting to eat up the thoat...
the dark ring the last pic just looks like the shadow of the edge of the throat....carbon ring would be a significant dark ring reaching towards the edge of the brass.....

Doesn't look like a lot of carbon building to me. I would be fine with it.

Bought the barrel used so just trying to figure out what im seeing.

Give it a good cleaning with Bortech products or KG 12 products and IOSSO bore paste. Then take a look at it again.

Try running the bore scope in from the other end of the barrel. You may find that what your looking at is mostly shadow. Carbon buildup often has a rough edge rather than a "clean, sharp edge" all the way around. Clean it well and look again.

No carbon ring.
Reamer markings and a little throat burning. As mentioned it can still be cleaned up with a little Elbow grease.

Thanks guys. I need to get some boretech products.

And pick up some Free All penetrating oil for when that carbon ring does form.
