Dont laugh but I've used this on all my guns and love it.
Wrap the barrel in paper towel.. I just lay the towels in the floor and lay barrel on them and roll it up like a burrito. Not real tight just roll it. I place a piece masking tape around d each end and middle to holt paper towel in place. I stand the barrel up in my shower and pour bleach over towels until soaked. Pour bleach over every hr for 2 or 3 more hrs. Let sit for hr after last bleach then take paper towels off and wash it off under water. I usually leave it at that but this time I rubbed 50/50 Birchwood Casey's bluing on
Then let sit for 30 min then rubbed back with steel wool. Just tge bleach thing is nice too.

Looks great ! I like the barrel treatment

 

[Crow#21957]

I've got others that look better but I wanted this one just a bit darker. You wouldn't believe the barrel treatment snd it super easy. And fast
