i don't see anything wrong with how you treated the rifle, and it's obviously not suffered any... like wichaka said, i'd just jam a brush through there to get any loose crap and call it done.
what'd that copper ever do to you anyway?
Good point. But have you ever had something you just HAD to do? Thats what I feel like right now, I just HAVE to get rid of the copper! Yes, I am seeing a therapist (several, actually) for these types of conditions lol
When I got "the itch" I generally use Sweets 7.62, a bronze brush and about 80 strokes. When I feel lazy, I use Wipeout and let it sit overnight.
Where do you get the Wipeout around here? I've never heard of it
I use a product called "Tetra" copper & lead remover.
I used it on an old 1944 Mossberg .22 military training rifle that had so much fouling inside the barrel, that you couldn't see any grooves or lands. Tried Hoppes, and that only removed the dust and loose crud. Swabbed in some of the Tetra, and you could hear it sizzle as it attacked the copper & lead.
After brushing and swabbing with about fifty patches, the bore looked like new.
You have to use this product with care. It is very caustic and I now use it with a separate set of cleaning tools.
I transferred some of this stuff onto a rag by accident, and then used that rag to wipe off a scope. It took off the flat black paint.
