Thread: Copper fouling

Munsey as suggested by the guys you need to look at the barrel at the muzzle end. I use a small torch and sometimes a magnifying glass (eyesight getting shagged). Also you may get false Cu indications even though your barrel is clear if using a good solvent which will also disolve the end of your cleaning rod and your jag (unless using a "proof" jag" which will not disolve) and your bronze brushes.

Bit late but you can slide a piece of paper strip down the muzzle to see any copper , maybe it needs a good jb's or solvol.

A cotton bud pushed 5 - 10 mm in does the same. The trick is to remember to remove it!
