My fault, I've been a bit lax in cleaning my model 65 (wet patch dry patch, ahh.. close enough). Then went to firearms qualification. Short story my gun ended up with 260+ rounds of the filthiest soft lead ammo you could imagine going through it.
I've been off today and went through 2 brass brushes, 1/2 a bottle of Hoppes #9, 1/2 bottle of Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber, 3/4 bottle of Pro-Shot lead and powder solvent and nearly 500 patches! It's still terrible Lots of little flakes of lead, a few come off now and then (in 12 hours off and on cleaning), and still deep streaks of lead in the grooves!
X-mass time,tax time and house insurance due, so please no electric cleaner suggestions$, any other ideas?
