The other day I bought a Charter Arms Explorer II pistol. I had seen it sitting in the counter and the price was right. I wanted it mainly for it's history (Being part of the Stoner/ Armalite family) I really had planned to just throw it in the safe and forget it. However I thought I would clean it really well before forgeting it. Problem is the gun has either been shot out or is just leaded beyond belief. As I have not seen a modern .22 lr ever shot out I tend to think it is lead. However, two days later and the bore only shows a hint of rifling. But it is squeaky clean. I know these guns were not renound for quality but I just do not think one in as good of condition as this one would be shot out. I have tried Butches Bore Shine, Hoppes #9 and some other things I will not mention to no avail. Any suggestions?
