need help got a dirty hawken

with a dirty barrel like that you're going to have to get a bucket of hot soapy water and a bore brush and scrub that sucker. Patches will only get you so far.

If thats a cva hawken, you can order a new barrel from deer creek products for around $85. They have both 15/16 and 1" barrels so you will need to measure yours. IMO if you do get a new barrel, order the .54
 
I had a bad barrel a while back. I pulled it out of the stock, and took the nipple out, put it in a bucket of HOT water that had some 409 in it. I cut some green 3M pads into 1" squares and used a 50 cal jag in that 54 barrel with the green pad on it and got in that barrel and began pumping it. It came out black then red, then black before it got down to shiny metal. Its a remarkably good shooter, i used probably 10 of the green patches before I got it down to clean iron. Use full length strokes so you clean it evenly all the way out.

Water puts rust in, and water is best to loosen rust on anything you work on.
