Hello all,
I have a CMP Service Grade M1 Garand. Great rifle! The bore is in pretty good condition but the copper fouling is horrendous. I've been using Montana X-Treme .50BMG Copper Killer on it with nylon brushes and jags and a brass rod. I'll swab the bore and let it sit for 15 minutes then go at it with the brush. I'm still getting serious blue residue on my patches.
It's a Feb. 1945 receiver with what appears to be the original barrel.
I picked up a bottle of Breakfree Foaming Bore Cleaner after hearing the goods results people have with it on their ARs. Since many ARs are chrome-lined, I'd imagine they shed their copper fouling a bit easier.
Any tips on using BF Foaming Bore Cleaner on my M1? Any other tips in general for copper fouling? Thanks in advance!
