So what does it mean this fouling ?
@ 05:03 am (GMT) |
Chris BayleySo what does a copper fouling pattern like the photo below indicate ?Forgive me if the question is a bit basic, I still have a lot to learn. It's just that I am accustomed to seeing photos of fouled lands but my most serious fouling is between the lands. The fouled lands have mostly cleaned up with about 5 applications of M-pro 7 but the groove fouling is up to about 10 applications and still resisting. Plenty of green still coming out but should we be there by now or does indicate that m-pro might be less effective that say boretech or kg12 ? Opinions as to the indications of between the lands copper fouling and the effectiveness of M-Pro 7 copper remover are most welcome... Cheers

Nathan FosterRe: So what does it mean this fouling ?Hi Chris, could just be a tight bore or it could be a slightly rough finish further back including the throat. The fouling does not look too heavy in comparison to others. May just need a good cut with a bronze brush and aggressive solvent before looking at the actual bore finish versus any need for polishing. Will also pay to take time with the throat.I think this one may also need it's crown recut, looks like its taken a hit at 1 O'clock. Other readers not that this is a 4 groove. Looks like 4 grooves, uncanted. |

Chris BayleyRe: So what does it mean this fouling ?Well I got there in the end but it took a little over a day of applying M-Pro7 copper remover, let it sit 1/2hr, rinse repeat.
Interesting the cloudy pattern inside the muzzle in that photo... Well spotted on that hit on the crown, I hadn't noticed that - will have to attend to it. Thx |
