Uh - Oh maybe bad title?
I am in the process of cleaning a Gahendra Martini Henry that the BBT left on my doorstep yesterday.

Using an electronic bore cleaner on it the first patch after dumping the crud is Olive drab green (honest). I have never cleaned a bore where the crud came out olive drab green, not just streaks but enough that it drips down on the rag I have under the action to catch the crud. Been cleaning for several hours and still get it,no let up.
Anyone got any ideas?
The barrel and bore look like a keeper but need to slug it first to make sure.

I would give the electronic bore cleaner another go and see if that does anything.
