Since Jack brought it up about five years ago I had a friend let me use his bore-scope for a few days so I got to see as Jack alluded to "what worked" and more importantly how quick.I checked all my guns just to see what was actually going on. Most were quite clean but not all. I had two that had some hard carbon build-up in a couple of spots that took JB bore paste to remove as nothing else seem to work at least not very fast. I had not discovered foam at that time. These spots were due to rough spots in the bore but both guns were quite accurate. I think some of that also was related to the powder I was using. I had a Savage that looked like beavers actually gnawed the barrel out and it was heavy with copper and I tried a couple of cooper removers and they worked albeit very slowly so again JB took it out quick and I never let it get bad again by using foam and that gun shoots fantastic by the way. My shilen barreled AR's and my Oly barreled AR were slick as glass with nothing in them so my cleaning regimen for them or any AR for that matter is a good carbon remover on patches( I use Hoppe's Elite or MPro7 which is the same stuff) and then a couple of passes with a brush just to loosen any of the tougher carbon a couple more wet patches and I should be done except to run some Kroil/or CLP type rust preventive.
