Remember the thread about test firing my new M1 Carbine a few months back? Well after i did that video i gave the rifle a quick cleaning which included a wipe down and a couple patches through the barrel coated in rem oil.
I pulled the rifle out yesterday to show someone and it was growing brown moss inside the barrel. I cleaned it right after seeing that. Really good scrub and soaked in a ton of hoppes 9 then more oil and patches. Tonight i gave it another cleaning with the Remington Brand action cleaner down the barrel. It is similar to brake cleaner but more mild. I got 99% of the crud out and it looks like really mild pitting. Nothing that would bother performance. It might even be more crud remaining in the bore. The bore still shines other then the few spots that look like pitting. Tomorrow i am going to blast brake cleaner down the barrel outside in the yard so o don't stink the house up and then when it dries i will hose the rifle down with rem oil inside and out.
Just a heads up. Some of this foreign shit might be corrosive even if it is new manufacture.
Yes my box of ammo was brand new.
