Below is the barrel of my Steyr M9. I have probably 6-700 rounds through it.

The first few times I shot it, I only cleaned the barrel with G96.

Today, I used Butch's Bore Shine and a brass brush. I did 5 sets of patch/brush and the patches were still coming out black.

The marks start about 1/3 of the way down the tube and extend to the muzzle. Is that stuff in the picture some kind of fouling? Should I scrub more? Or less?

BTW, I have only shot FMJ or JHP thru this gun.

Im not sure what that is, but i tend to reach a point of "reasonable" cleanliness on my guns and call it a day.Every once in a while i use a product designed specifically to remove copper.You could email Steyr and see if they have an opinion.Address is in last weeks thread by me.
