Carbon or something else?

[Laelkhunter]

Yeah I know but he don't know diddly about cleaning.

That's obvious by the pictures of the bore.

No brushs bronze etc. have been used on this barrel by myself. Got the mirrors but don't know which one to use . Does it matter which ? One appears to have less angle than the others! 30° compared to 45°?

Doesn't matter. Whichever one gives a good view. I'd probably try the 45 first.

Bronze brush will help get stuff out that patches and chemicals won't touch.

Has anyone used both JB Bore Cleaner and the Iosso and can comment on how they compare? I've used the JB since I started shooting for accuracy seriously maybe 30 years ago but have never tried the Iosso.

Also, next time I order from Midway I'm going to try the Birchwood Casey lead remover cloth, another product I've never tried but have heard good things about!

Me? I'd soak the barrel for 2-3 days with Hoppes just to get it started in right direction. Hoppes will be working while you toss down 3 fingers of your preference. I have found really fouled barrels respond much faster if allowed to soak first. This is old school that seems to be laughed at but it still works well and doesn't harm your barrel at all. Just use Hoppes and do not use any solvent with ammonia.

I would start cleaning with really good bronze bore brush and expect to use quite a few. Save the worn ones for patch wrapped around them and JB gray paste. Hit the bore with JB and flush with Hoppes.

Once the powder fouling has been attacked, use what ever your favorite copper cleaner is with nylon brush.

Always clean your cleaning rod as you clean to insure you are not sending crud back into barrel.

Shotgun bore mops are great for cleaning chambers.

This may take several soakings and brushing to get bore reclaimed.

Don't overlook cleaning bolt face, tear down bolt, cleaning and lubricate. Lube lugs. If bore is that cruddy, the bolt is likely to need it as well.

Oh Voltaren for your arm and shoulder!

As usual, i agree with Muddy100%. Right on target!

Need some help here . I am not familiar with carbon rings at all . This is in my friends rifle I was starting load development for hammer Hunter bullets and found this!!! Picture on the left is a photo of the display on the bore scope as all of the pictures are! Is the white fuzz y stuff reflection or spider webbs? (I don't know how to attach it to my android phone) I tried to show the throat area and what I thought was the carbon ring with copper from the dummy round I made up! Yes it stuck in the barrel and tapped out easily! You can see the rough ring around the dummy bullet in the right picture.I believe the bullet may have pulled out of the case a bit when I ejected the round. The third picture is a close up of ( copper ? ) in the throat. Thanks for all your thoughts,comments and or advice .

Ok more cleaning done with hoppes and Butch's pictures included first picture I tried to show junction of barrel and receiver second shows lands grooves about an inch from leade looks like never before seen tool marks

 

[WapitiBob]

looks pitted to me

 

[LaHunter]

Looks like you still have some carbon, a little fire cracking, and pitting in the first pic. The second looks like pitting with some tooling 'chatter' marks. The tooling marks are not really uncommon for factory / mass production rifles

 

[Dot_3]

It'll shoot.



Or it won't.

 

[Tac-O]

I don't think it looks like pitting. I think it just looks like built up carbon. Just my opinion.

 

[RidgeTop]

Pics. (not in order) locking lugs, clean lands, muzzle, freebore(22-42 25), beginning of lands(22 46 09). All from Wby. Mk V .300Wby about 500rds. I clean mostly with JB compound.

Lesd cloth works good, in the bore amd on th outside. I have used one since Moby Dick was a guppy.

Yep
