So I had a chance to take my new to me 2 band enfield to the range today. After I got done shooting, when I went to clean I saw something I hand't seen before. I had shot about 6 rounds with pyrodex, and about 10 with Goex. I wet patched 2 or 3 patches in between and everything came out carbon black as usual. When it came time to clean, as I flushed the barrel I got a liquid about the color of Windex. When I patched the bore I had a patch that was a deep blue green. I don't ever recall having similar colored fouling in my percussion revolver. It did wash/patch clean, so it was something dissolve-able at least.
If I was shooting a rifle that used copper washed or coated bullets, I'd suspect copper fouling. Any ideas on what exactly I was patching out of the barrel?
