Surplus parts

[Adam Helmer]

Gil,

What does a 98k replacement barrel go for these days? From whom? Now that you do not need that other barrel, what are you going to do with it?

For really serious barrel cleanup, I begin with a coffee can of boiling hot soapy water. I put the muzzle into the hot water, run a brush 50 or 60 times up and down the bore, drop off the brush, run a patch up and down the bore, with the muzzle in the hot water, to wash it out, remove the muzzle from the water, run a few dry patches and then run an oil patch up and down the bore.

I then go to the chemical cleaners after all the crud has been boiled out of the bores.
