what do you mean by leaving the bore cleaner in over night?

Mossbergman....I've cleaned some nasty weapons for other people before, especially muzzle loaders and what I've found work best for some bad build up is....runbore cleaner with a bore brush heavy in the barrel a few times. Let it sit for a couple of hour just like that. Thenrun the brush with cleaner a couple more times. Take a couple of patches thru it. Now this I think does the trick...I tear up a old Tee shirt and make "tight" patches a force them thru the barrel ( by tight I mean snug) I do this with clean tees until they come clean. Then oil'er up as prescribed. On some of the tougher Muzzle loaders, I've left the bore cleaner in over night.

RE: cleaning 12 gauge problems
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKbWcPdTRBI I found this video it shows all the disassembly and reassembly you'll need for cleaning and lubricating your Mossberg 500. if you can't get the barrel clean you could actually remove it and soak it in hoppes. i don't think it would have any negative effect. On my guns, i always over-lubricate all moving parts and touching surfaces. then i put the gun back together and work the action a little bit. then i'll wipe off any excess lubricant. (might have to take the gun backapart to do that)
for your winchester, i'd take it to a gunsmith just to be sure i don't break anything.
