You’re not doing anything wrong.
Each time you use the brush, you loosen up caked on carbon in the bore. It doesn’t take much to darken a patch. At some point you just need to decide the bore is clean enough and stop cleaning. I’ve never been able to get a bore completely clean of all carbon. |

Hmm... My sarge told us to look down the barrel with a backlight and see if there were any "specks" - it they were not then we were gtg.. does this sound right?

Yeah, that should work. Really no need to get the barrel spotless unless it is a match barrel, and even then its debatable.

Quoted: Yeah, that should work. Really no need to get the barrel spotless unless it is a match barrel, and even then its debatable. Back in the old days we used to take a fouling shot before a match, on some barrels the first shot out of a clean barrel tends to be a flyer. That may, or may not be common, but it definitely can be demonstrated in [b]some barrels.[/b] |
