    Foster, I doubt it, but the 1:10 twist may be the issue with the sciroccos? A black barrel that coppers badly is pretty rare opposed to stainless. Any idea how many rounds have been thru the barrel?
    I have never had a barrel that fouls badly and that is just blind luck.
    If a barrel is new and does not foul too bad, it can sometimes settle, with hand lapping and shooting a few rounds.
    If it is fouling bad now mate, after 17yrs, I would just get another barrel fitted and save time and money on ammo and mucking around.
    I hope you dont have too and its is just still new and needs a bit of attention.

    Baldbob has had 2 barrels in his last 3 that he could sell the copper from, after 5 shots and put a deposit on a house
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
