How to remove Copper fouling

FMJ, partially jackted and bullets without jackets leave traces or copper and carbon inside the barrel. This builds up and causes accuracy to decrease and rifle wear to increase, in this video I will show you a simple well known method to remove it and let everyone see first hand what happens when you do it so there are no nasty surprises.

I tried sweets the other day on my mauser . Its not bad but , its extremely strong smelling. I cant believe u used that shit in your house..I prefer butches bore shine, and brownells bore polish.its given me great results...do u use a bore brush?

[jubbles2343]

there are these things called windows which I use to get the smell out :)

I sure as hell dont use a bore brush when using this stuff, but in normal cleaning yes I do.

[MrPettj]

seriously man that shit smells like bleach..i had to do it in the garage..why dont u use a bore brush with it?

[jubbles2343]

because bore brush's are made out of copper! and this shit eats up copper for breakfast!

@skateboy159 yes, copper and zinc, but brass brushes have been fine for me, and so have the stiff nylon ones.

[skateboy159]

@bjizzle123 doesnt brass have some copper in it

[bjizzle123]

@jubbles2343 most modern bore brushes are brass man.

Greetings! I'm viewing your video and maybe help save you money and time cleaning your rifle. In the U.S. we have disc brake cleaner in spray can and costs about two dollars. Careful of spills and dripping. I notice your using a length of wire as your pull thru? Is the wire coated? Obtain a 45 pound fishing leader and attach 45 pound fishing line instead. Fishing line winds tighter and can be used as part of your bug out bag. Good video, nice rifle. Keep making videos. Musketsniper.

I simply spray ballistol into the barrel and shrub it with a bronze brush and clean/dry it using small patches wrapped around a smaller brush (223 in a 308 barrel). Takes out all the fauling.

Nice rifle! I've got 2 (No.1 Mk. 3 though) and they are by far my favorite rifles.

[robstatetx]

They are made of bronze, nylon or stainless steel. Stainless is too strong for any bore in my opinion. Bronze is what I use in ss barrel. Nylon has never worked well enough for me.

You obviously haven't had serious copper fauling issues. If you aren't forced to use a copper brush and scrub, your problems aren't bad. I've used 7.62 on a couple hunting rifles that were not taken care of. I had to use a brush 2 or 3 times just to releave the fauling.
