I was wondering what it would do to a barrel to use polishing paste to clean carbon.
I have 1000 rounds down my new 6mm BR and I wanted to clean it properly, no matter how many times I pushed the brush through and how many patches went through the barrel I always had carbon streaks on the patches.
I tried the paste, just soaked the brush in it and pushed it through the barrel 100 times, then cleaned it with patches and boreshine, and now the patches come through the barrel clean.
I do notice better reflection in the barrel like it's mirror like.
the paste is water soluble and has plastic grit that does the polishing, so I don't think it could damage the metal.. I use it on my stock to get better shine before I wax it.
is this something that is ok to do or could I damage the barrel ?
will the polished barrel change how the gun shoots... better or worse ?
I know I should ask before doing but I'm a "doer" not a "thinker"
