I've had it with Blued Steel Barrels!
OK, My Wife chose to use Her CVA Kodiak for this Season because She thinks Her ACCURA is Too Heavy, I agreed even though I knew She was wrong, Women are Always Right....Remember that.
Anyway Her Kodiak had a Blued Steel Barrel and Im a CLEAN FREAK! If I cant get the Barrel Spotless and with NO Color on the Patches then Im Not Happy. I dont need any Cleaning advice as I might not be the Best but I think I am at Cleaning...LOL
Anyway I cant get the Patches to come Clean after Cleaning and Cleaning the Barrel, it looks Spotless and Shiny but the Patches still come out with some (Rusty) color on them. It may be just because the Barrel is Steel and Not Stainless but it still bothers me to see it on the patches. Now it may be from some kind of Chemical Reaction to the Montana Bore Conditioner or whatever and it's probably no big deal as the ML still shoots great but I just cant get them Patches to come out Clean.
I may be Spoiled with My ACCURA Bergara Stainless Barrels as they clean up with just a few swipes and the patchec come out Clean, and I mean clean and white.
Should I just get over it and expect this from a Steel Barrel, or has anyone actually got a Blued Steel Barrel to be so Clean that after a cleaning your Patches really do come out clean and white.
