Smokey337 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 After zeroing my new M4 with rifled slugs I discovered a significant amount of lead deposited in the bore. Just wondering why this is happening and what I can do to remove the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Get yourself a tornado brush. Leading with slugs is pretty much standard operating procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12508 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have found a bore snake can help. I havent been that impressed by the tornado brushes. A baby bottle brush/cleaner works well to clean out the breech end of the barrel where most of the slug fouling is and can be found at any grocery store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey337 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Found something that works great. I had put about 50 slugs through the gun and there was really extensive leading; probably about 75%. I cut up a 100% copper scrubbing pad, wrapped it tightly around a bronze cleaning brush and ran it back and forth through the bore for about 5 minutes and the bore was completely clean. http://www.choreboyscrubbers.com/Products/Ultimate%20Scrubbers%20Pure%20Copper.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelligunny Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Never seen a bore snake remove compacted lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
