Do the brush in a drill thing, but the wrap the brush is 0000 or 00000 wire wool, that'll shift anything!

 

 

thats what i have been doing for years.....never had to use drill tho...i use "cabinate makers" wire wool wrap some around bronze brush ...dip it in gun oil and scrub....half a sheet of kitchen roll as a jag push thro in one go....then mop out barrel with a slighty oily mop....inspect from both ends......

By the looks of it im going to need to get hold of a good bore solvent to help shift this.

What do you's recommend for a good bore solvent

I use Tetra copper solvent on my shotgun barrels, it's pretty strong stuff. If you get some then make sure you use it in a very well ventilated area or even better outdoors.

 

Run a patch saturated in the stuff through the barrels and leave for at least thirty minutes for it to do its job, then push through with a fresh patch, back to your wire brush, then repeat if necessary.

It looks to me as if it is sitting in the barrel in lumps, if it is I have had similar fouling on a much smaller scale on my o/u and what I used to remove it was this. I made up a tool by taking an old worn out bronze brush, unscrewing the metal spiral from the Parker Hale part then finding a suitably sized steel washer, just a little larger than the p/h holder diameter and putting a precision edge on the washer using wet and dry paper on a flat board screw this to the holder with what I believe was a BA threaded screw, fix the assembled tool to your cleaning rod and gently scrape away! Worked a treat for me, but use with care.
