Hello all new to the forum, got a problem with my "new" 10-FCP-K. I bought it last week and only had time to clean it this weekend and noticed the barrel is very dirty. (I've never shot this gun) To the point you can't really see rifling in the barrel or anything. The inside looks like the surface of the moon. I was wondering how dirty your barrels were when you bought it new? I'm thinking someone either switched my barrel out, or shot the heck out of it before i got my hands on it. The rest of the gun looks spotless, its just the inside of the barrel. I spent an hour and a half trying to get it clean and I've made very little progress.

My dealer had to order it for me and i picked it up within hours of it coming in so i don't think they did it. I'm going back to them tomorrow and I'm also going to give Savage a call in the morning. I've seen factory dirty barrels where they've test fired guns before but the amount of dirty/corrosion is unacceptable.

How dirty were your straight from the factory new barrels?
