Worth Cleaning or Replace Barrel?

[DoneNOut]

Ever try some of the foams? Outers electronic foul out cures a lot of sins if you have access.

After that it's how bad do you want to fool around and find out.

Very badly apparently! I made up my own concoction of diatomaceous earth (DE), Flitz, and Free All. Slurry mix. Then I eliminated the Flitz so I wouldn't get a forever black false read. Then went with free all and DE with Nyon brush. Few hundred strokes and few hundred patches...at this point I don't think I'm getting the black out ever.

I have Free All soaking in it now just for shiggles. I got a lead on a 30" custom bull barrel if I screwed this one up.

On my savage 110 that black is part of the barrel coating.

I highly doubt it. She was hot. I got tricked...

I think I met that woman once…

Is your barrel black on the outside and inside?

Buddy, I ran this thing through the "BFD shelves of solvents!"

iosso or jb's will get it out but it's not carbon

Bottom line is how it shoots. I would try a fouling shot, then shoot a group with it allowing a minute or two between shots.

She is CLEAN! (Enough) Ready for the .311" Sierras!

From Left to right, top to bottom after 50 strokes of bronze brush. This is the set of patches where I saw improvement. There are hundreds before these coal black.
