best way to clean lead from barrel

**frolic1** · 12-09-2009, 11:42 AM

Shot several boxes of slugs through my M4. Afterwords, when cleaning I couldn't get the lead deposits (foil?) out of the barrel. I was just using Rem Action cleaner and a tampon which worked fine for bird shot in the past. Do I need to get a stainless steel brush? Which is the best solvent?

No solvent is necessary usually, just buy a Tornado brush.

Tornado Brush is the best. It works amazingly well.

By lead you mean carbon.

KG-1 will kill all carbon deposits and rape it's family members. It doesn't play around.
