Thanks Jon. Not sure how much that old bore is willing to give up but will just keep pecking away! A patch just seems to be a Hoppes applicator. Removes nothing until the brush is used. Picked up...

Just an update. Whole Bunches I answered you to soon. I started brushing this afternoon shortly after I answered you. There was Hoppes in the bore. I added some to a new brush and began scrubbing....
