I borrowed a friend's compensated "open" class gun to try out.
I have always competed with my duty gun from work, but I have one lonley "open" classifier score in my USPSA file from a 1994 , so I decided I should shoot a special classifier match at a local club in January with an open class gun, just to get classified.
AND MY QUESTION IS: there is some lead build up in the compensator. I got all the carbon out with Slip 2000 Carbon Cutter. The compensator is currently soaking in a mixture of Shooter's Choice Lead Removal formula and Kroil penetrating oil. I'm hoping that will break the leading loose.
IF IT DOES NOT, does anybody have any suggestions on what to try next?
I did drop the barrel into the ultrasonic cleaner at work and cycle it about a dozen times, but it didn't seem to make much difference . . .
The gun works fine with a slightly fouled comp, it just offends my esthetic sensibilities . . .
