Thread: Metal flakes cleaning barrel...and clean load?

My new Beretta 694 is a pig to clean. I thought the chrome lining was coming off!! Required drill and brass brush to sort it with CRC and Hoppes.

It occurs in the first 3rd of the barrel...forcing cones. I found an article where someone else with steelium plus barrel had same problem. It produces a shiny metal flake or crumble. They are soft and will leave a silver smear on fingers.

Apparently due to the forcing cones and effect on the lead shot. Not had this issue so profoundly in other Berettas I have/had but they shot mainly steel except for the SV10.

Shooting Falcon Blue. May need to try a cleaner load??
