I recently sighted-in a new .223 Rem, Savage Mod. 11 rifle for a neighbor,
and after shooting it, cleaned the bore. I ran a couple of wet patches through it and didn't notice anything, but when a wet bronze brush was was pushed through, it "sang" like it was going over a lightly scored or machined surface. It was the length of the bore, so it couldn't have been fouling.
Does anyone know if this is this an innovation, a problem, or what? The rifle shot reasonably well and there were no pressure signs.
