I recently bought a Mark II that's extremely well seasoned with lead build-up in the barrel...
Look's like a smooth bore shot-gun barrel when I first got it home.
Now after using Hoppe's #9,Cleaning rod with copper bristles ? Picky things poking out.
Wrapped copper wiring off a brillo pad looking thing and hitting the bore about 50 times I'm starting to see some rifling.
Faint that it may be,Do these older Rugers have light rifling or is this a case of hitting it 50 more times?
What is you're method of lead build-up removal please?
