I've got streaks/crud/? in the barrel in several places. They seem to be mostly in the angle where the lands and grooves meet and are mostly about 6 inches from the muzzle.
The gun is a Traditions Pa. Pellet Flintlock. I was shooting both Hornady XTP's and cast SWC in Harvester sabots over loose Pyrodex with 4F black in the pan. I shot and cleaned a lot this fall and can't recall seeing the streaks then. I didn't fire it during the late Pa. flintlock season. I unloaded by unscrewing the breechplug and driving the bullet out the back.
I've cleaned with hot soapy water, Shooters Choice, and left it soak all afternoon with Birchwood Casey foaming cleaner in it. The streaks still remain.
Plastic fouling? What do I clean with for that? Or something else in there? Thanks,
Dale
The only Shooters-Choice cleaner I see on their website is Quick Scrub III. Sounds pretty weak.
They have others like MC #7 Extra Strength for rifles and MLs. Another for shotguns.
Which one do you have and does it say on the label that it removes carbon, lead, copper and plastic?
One last question....... are you using a bore brush?
