RE: Some Suggestions
thank you all for all of your help. I have now gone from a "I think it has some rifling in there" to "its nice and shiny". There are some things in there that look rough and that just might be partly due to the way they made the bore I don't know. The rifle in question is a 1973 vintage Yugo SKS. Supposedly UN-fired or at least used very little. Using the Montana Extreme Copper Killer showed me that it has been fired at least once, the patches came out really blue. The rest of the gunk looked like a mix of carbon and cosmoline. I ran a few patches through it this morning, some JB and some more solvent and there is just a little staining on the patch, more brown than black. A good brushing and a soak repeated a few times should hopefully get out most of what ever is left in there. At least now I will not be afraid to fire it.
Thanks again.
Sam
