I have my Garand broken down right now. I decided to do some stock work by removing some wood that was rubbing/resting on my barrel.
In the past when I would clean my SA I would use Accubore. A few passes with a patch and it would look somewhat clean.
Yesterday I used JB's Bore Paste. What I found is that every patch is coming out black....I ran about 100 patches! Peeking inside the muzzle I saw what I thought in the past was metal, but in actuality it was baked on carbon. I scrubbed last night until my hands hurt.
One pass with Accubore and a brush, then another with Military bore cleaner (weak stuff) and then another with JB's Bore Paste.
I am making some headway, but is ther an easier way to rmove years of caked on carbon fouling?
I was think of making a trip to Wal Mart for a can of brake cleaner and pluggin up the muzzle, filling the barrel and letting it soak. Would this work?
Right now I am at a point that if I have to use another 100 patches I will...it's pissin me off and I want it clean!
