I just read the previous thread from Jeffly about barrel fouling and wonder what the inside of an old M1 barrel should look like. I've scrubbed it a few times and always pull out slightly dirty pads after scrubbing it with cleaner and brass brushes. I've cleaned other rifles and their barrels are bright just like pistol barrels. Is the M1 any different? Just how clean should I get it? If it's supposed to be shiney, and the pads are black (not green) should I use a stronger barrel cleaner and if so, what would you recommend?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
