Deposits in bore - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

After shooting WWB last Friday, I noticed some deposits inside the bore that would not come out with a brush when I was cleaning it, so I used a dental pick to scrape it off. There don't seem to be any scratches on the bore or anything, but the areas where the deposits were seem to be a different color than the rest of the bore; almost a whitish color. Is that normal?

This was before I got some Blue Wonder gun cleaner, so that's what I'm using now; was using Break Free before.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

That is an odd one. It could just be copper fouling that looks different due to the light hitting it.

That could be it. I shined a light down the barrel and there are no scratches that I can see; the entire thing is clean and smooth. Oh well, I'll take it out this weekend and see if it affects anything.

Get some Butch's Boreshine and see if that takes it out. It's some toxic stuff, but it cleans. If that takes it out, stick with that.
