If you have a bad copper fouling problem,I'd just mix up an ammonia/water solution.
I've been there,before I finally fire lapped the bad barrel (tool marks in rifling).There are many chemical gun cleaners that you can buy,some work-some don't.
But for a little of nothing you can go to your local janitorial supply and get a gallon of industrial strength ammonia (the stuff you can get at Walmart/grocery store is too watered down).
Get some rubber stoppers from the hardware store that will fit (plug) the chamber end of the barrel.
Mix up 2 parts ammonia/1 part water,plug the barrel,fill barrel with the solution,let it set for 10-15 minutes.
Pour the solution out of the barrel,remove the plug,and then clean your barrel as usual.
You should get rid of all the copper fouling in a few minutes,without scrubbing the barrel.
