my liitle beloved brother brought his shotgun to me complaining that its kicking harder than normal (DALY 12GA semi auto ) well ,I asked him it he cleaned the bore ? oh I am supposed to to do that ? checked it and looks like someone peened the inside of the barrel , because of plastic build up , any good way to remove all of this plastic , I have scrubbed with a brush , solvent for plastic , ect , all, except honing the bore ,ive spent 2 hours cleaning this sucker and still have fouling , any good Ideas to scrape this crap out??
 
Got a variable speed electric drill? If so, split the end of a 3/8" dowel for about 8-10 inches. Stuff in a reasonable amount of 4/0 steel wool. Insert in the breech end of the bbl and press the trigger lightly. Go slowly from breech to muzzle.

Keep the revs low and check after a minute or so.

Some people use Scotchbrite pads instead, but I've no direct experience with them.

HTH...
 
A good brush and copper/plastic removal solvent like Remington and a LOT of elbow grease. Cleans up real good on my shotguns.
 
thanks for the suggestions guys , i'll givem a try , one suggestion that was given to me at the store was shove the brother down the bore . I've ruined 2 brass brushes so far , so it looks like scotchbrite or steel wool .
 
well after 4hours of scrubbing , 3brass brushes, 1 bottle of shooters choice solvent , 1 scotchbritepad and broken dowelrod , and a flogged little brother :rolleyes: ,I can say its all out, next time hes going to be in the barrel ! thanks the scotchbrite cleaned up the bore real well . :) now to put it back together , and go clay shooting
