Between new baby and new job its been crazy busy in my life so I have not touched my rifles in close to a year. I just today pulled out one that I have been handloading for with a lot of success (consistent 1/2MOA groups) and I noticed that the bore was not as shiny as when I put it away (well oiled with CLP). I ran a dry patch through it and a lot of green came out from what I assume is the copper oxidation from what was in the barrel.
If I give this a deep clean and remove all copper and everything else do you suspect that there is other oxidation damage? I saw somewhere that even if there is no rust the copper oxidizing can pit the steel?
I'm thinkin if I do the deep clean and get some fresh copper in there I'll be back to normal, no?
