Here are the patches from first couple of passes through the bore of my "clean on the outside" refurbished M91/30. Wow
It is about as clean as I can get it now, not shiny, and still quite rough. I'm going to put a dozen or so rounds down range with it. Then clean it some more....maybe it will be OK?
What came out of your bargain-basement milsurp the first time you cleaned it?
