So I have the new GPR, and got it all fitted together and following instructions on cleaning the bore for the first time. I have soaked in WD-40 over night and once all day. I have brushed it out and I have even used some Rem-clean on it several times.
It seems that each time I achieve a clean patch and think it's time to coat with some bore butter the patch with the butter comes up dirty. So here we go again. Soak, Rem-Clean, wire brush and VOILA, clean patch. Bore butter, dirty patch.
When I look down the barrel I see clean. In fact, if my eye sight were good enough I could literally count the lines of tool marks in the grooves of the rifling.
So, at what point do I give up and consider the barrel to be sufficiently clean?
