I am new to INGunOwners. One of my main interests is in older military arms. I have a 1941 M1 Garand with the original barrel that has some unusual barrel fouling. I have tried many, many different things to clear the fouling but nothing has worked.
Can anyone steer me to a thread on this subject and/or recommend a local gunsmith who might be familiar with fouling unique to older military arms?
The fowling is in about the last eight inches of the barrel toward the muzzle end. It light tan and has filled the rifling grooves. It is extremely hard and I have not been able to remove it using about 20 different methods/products.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
