Cleaning up a 50+ year old Mosin M44 Vietnam bring back, with a filthy sewer pipe for a bore.
So far I've been soaking with Butches Bore Shine, and Hoppes #9, and scrubbing with cut up stainless steel scouring pad pieces wrapped around an old bore brush.
Stuff coming out the end looks like rusty sewer water. Nasty. I think there is a decent bore hiding underneath all the crud. Rifling is still there too.
Taking opinions on anything that might speed up the process.
Thank you all for any insight and support.
