My 1900 AE has a frosty/vague looking bore...I keep cleaning it (solvent + brass brushes; patches + oil) and it keeps coming out dirty...I think it has been fired with lead bullets and the lead has built up in the grooves...And keeps coming out no matter how much I scrub it... So you're saying that BreakFree will dissolve lead deposits??? I can try that tonight... (As an aside, years/decades ago I used to own a stainless 45 Colt Gold Cup, and fired several hundred lead SWC bullets through it...I could see the lead deposits in the barrel, but they refused to scrub out...Another shooter said to just fire a couple FMJ rounds through it, it would clean the lead out...I was skeptical, but since barrels were [fairly] cheap back then, I tried it...It worked, but I'm still skeptical...)

I use a product also made by break free It is a bore cleaning foam. Its really easy just spray it in let it sit for 15 minutes. You can see the buildup coming out with the foam.
After the foam has had time to settle I use a boresnake and repaeat until its the way I want it. Just my two cents |
