I recently purchased a JBMR and on arrival I discovered that it had been stored loaded. I managed to remove the charge however it was obvious by its condition that it had been in there for years. I ran a wet cleaning patch down the bore and when I tried to pull it out it was stuck in the bore. I managed to remove it and the patch was torn to pieces. I tried another patch and then several more experiencing the same problem. The patches were rusty as well as torn. Obviously that charge has led to corrosion in the barrel. If it was rough farther up the barrel I would use some valve grinding compound on a green scrubbie and try to smooth it out. This however is right at the breach plug so I can't go past it to polish the barrel up and down. Now here is my idea. Would it make any sense at all to take an old bench rod and put a scrubbie with compound on the end shove it down the barrel, chuck it up in my drill and try to polish the barrel that way. any comments or suggestions gladly accepted.
