I finally got a chance to take my new to me swiss k31 to the range for the first time. When i got home I cleaned as per my usual habit. I was using Hoppes #9 and was getting clean patches out. Afterwards i went to grease the barrel as the Swiss did. I couldn't find my regular gun grease so I used some T17 from my muzzleloaders, went to patch out the T17 the next day and apply my regular grease. The first 3 patches through came out black, reapplied the T17 and again had patches come out with black on them today.
I'm a little confused here, what am I missing that my muzzleloader grease and patch lube would keep coming out looking like i never cleaned the barrel before.
Any input would be appreciated
