Got a boresope for gift, 1st time used it to check out a barrel on a .223 that has a lot of rounds thru it but sat in the safe for awhile.

1st scope showed a lot of these small flakes, so I cleaned it

wipe out accelerator folowed by wipe out foam. Let sit for ~24 hours.
2 passes with jag and patches of Butches
40 strokes of brush with Montana bore cream
Nylon brush w/butches BS, 20 strokes
Dry patches


2nd scope showed majority of flakes gone, a few left.

Call it good and shoot,
Or go after them with maybe a bronze brush till till all gone.
Any more aggressive methods to suggest?

Thanks, Red

If the white stuff is what you are talking about in the 2nd and 3rd picture, those look like fibers off a cleaning patch.

Yeah, my thoughts too, but after brushing with nylon brush, still there. At least I think thier in the same spots...

This is my 1st time using the scope, dont know what to look for or compare to...

Ok, barrel soaking again. will take some more looks later, thanks.

Shoot it. Borescopes lead to madness[emoji1]

I have one of the lyman bore scopes that looks 90 degrees, directly at the lands and grooves. I have found that running a bore snake through the bore right before I use the scope will remove any fibers or dust that the scope might pick up.
I also have one of the cheap bore cams that look straight ahead and found it to not be really good as a actual bore scope (such as the lyman). You just can not see as much detail.

Good answer right hear. After I bought mine and saw all the marks and stuff, was wondering why. Best not to scope until you start having accuracy issues. My 10T is a tac driver. Wound not think that after seeing inside my barrel. Production barrels don’t look pretty. But I do see why you foul a barrel before grouping. Fills in all the imperfections.
