It must be an easy job for a gunsmith to take the barrel off and run a reamer into the chamber .
I realise that this is a budget exercise , but it seems a shame to just give up on it .
Anyone got a bore scope that could be put up the barrel to see if its shot out and in particular the throat and chamber to see if there is still an obstruction of fouling .
Cleaning a barrel is a topic that seems to get the juices flowing and the debates raging , but I recently witnessed a friend clean a newly purchased second hand 22.250 .
He did all his usual cleaning techniques and declared it clean . It didn't shoot great , but it was OK .
He got talked into buying some cleaner from the gun shop that is a foam that you spay down the bore , it expands , you leave it for a set time and clean it out . He was amazed what came out of that " clean barrel "
I didn't witness that actual cleaning , but I did see the improved results when he shot it next with the same ammo and everything .
It was quite an impressive demonstration of " how clean is your barrel " .
Hope you find an answer to the problem .
