Sabot-Plastic Fouling
 

How often do you guys clean the plastic fouling out of your barrels. What do you use to clean it out. Both of my guns probably have less than 100 rounds through them (I know, I need to shoot more). Thanks for the help.

Never had issues with plastic fouling, I clean after every shoot with a bore mop and hot water and all is fine. The inside barrel shines like new and is a 1:28 twist. I suppose if you have a slow twist rate barrel the plastic would be more of a concern but I do not know if sabots are recommended in those slower twist rates. They make all kinds of plastic removing products but I see no need for them.

With the new plastics its not an issue.

Even if you were concerned about it, Brownells makes a sabot fouling removal solution.

My new Encore had a very rough bore that got plastic fouled. Smoothed out the bore with patches and jewelers rouge-no more problem.

Thanks guys I've just read where other guys were talking about it and wanted to know if it was a problem and how to deal with it. Sounds like its nothing to worry about..

I have yet to have a plastic fouling issue.
