my 1898 springfield armory in 30-40 krag(made in 1903) took about 3 or 4 days to clean up the barrel. today is the last day of cleaning. i used in this order: gunslick(foaming agent), sweets, gunslick, shooters choice mc#7, and finally gunslick.(with a light coat of oil between) sweets seems to be the agent for taking copper and lead out(going to shoot cast boolits). everything, rifle grooves, seem to be almost new. it doesn't even seem to be any kind of corrosive? patching on the grooves.
did i do this cleaning right? i'm a newbie when it comes to taking an old rifle and trying to shoot cast boolits out of her.
