[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 3531645, member: 46875"] You can just keep at it successively scrubbing and letting the solvent soak a while before brushing and here bronze is not going to hurt a thing. Even though I am not able to look at the bore to know if its real bad for proper advise you can plug the barrel up with some rubber or cork and fill it up with solvent and let it soak over night if its terrible and successive cleanings did not satisfy you., You can get more aggressive only as needed in this order Hoppe's 9 on the mild end, Sweets then Montana Extreme and finally some ammonia concoctions you find on the internet. Last and only last is do some bore lapping with JB bore compound on a mop but I have never gone that rad and do not advise. Sometimes if the rifles are still intact all the way back, especially in the throat area and through shooting and cleaning you can get those fairly cleaned up it might surprise you. I have an old ancient Remington like this and if you looked at it you would throw it away. Over the years I have gotten it better and it actually shoots fairly good now. I have another one that is dark between the lands that is a bonafied tack driver and I don't know how. The pitts down in between the lands can be dark sometimes and not seem to affect things to bad. It will just be a ROYAL pain in the rear to try to keep clean as all that rough metal then becomes a powder and copper residue magnet, Get ready for some 20-30 patch job cleanings Keep up the scrub jobs and run a few rounds through it and it might just surprise the heck out of you. And Keep in mind on something like this Rome wasn't built in a day and just stay at it after every time you shoot it. You cant mess anything up at this point and can only make it better.
