the barrel has been cleaned

[yankee]

spent the afternoon scrubbing on this barrel, still is NOT perfect but is 100% better than it was
first 2 photos are from breach end
next 2 photos breech end zoomed up
next 2 taken from barrell end zoomed up
the hot water trick worked like a champ, i got the water rolling hot on the stove and commenced to scrubbng, i added some liquid soap to the water to act as a lubricant because patches were getting stuck, but once the soap got in there it was free sailing

What kind of gun? Was it residues, rust...lots of shots? It looks cleaner now. ;D

the water was blacker then black, i poured the water through a screen hoping to find something, but nothing in the screen, so im still not sure what it was, i do know i had to reheat mt water on the stove 3 different time before i was done scrubbing oh btw that barrell is one of knights first inline rifles

I guess I was wondering if the barrel had been neglected or simply dirty from a lot of shooting?
