It was sold as Gold Medallion before Remington bought it. Like liquid JB paste.

The stuff i remember had real grit in it you could feel and hear in the barrel. I got it in like a twin pack one time because i was needing the rem oil that was in there. This was in the early 80’s

I clean my CZ MTR barrel every 500 rounds. First, I use a .243 mop dipped in Kroil and let it soak the chamber/lead in for 24 hours. The a .243 brass brush spun manually with a brass pistol rod to break up the carbon ring, then 8-10 strokes with .22 brass brush dipped in Kroil. Then I use 3-4 .20 jag/patch w/Kroil followed by 2-3 dry patches.

Why would you assume a copper solvent is great for carbon? I would be careful with the IOSSO, not good for regular use, last thing you want is to polish the inside.
Nothing beats C4 for carbon ring…..zero scrubbing/polishing.

Just assuming one of the only two solvents that I've used must be keeping the carbon ring from forming. I haven't even used Iosso on this .22, just boretech and Rem 40X. Maybe it's the Rem 40X.

ontopic my newest cleaning routine involves letting a mop soaked in C4 inserted 1.5 inches sit for 10 minutes. Takes care of any carbon buildups in the chamber and throat

I have pretty much gave up on my Teslong for anything more than looking for carbon rings and in my centerfires copper. It just does not have the clarity needed

Mine is superb. Have you adjusted the focus and tried different mirrors?

Buy a Gradient lens (Hawkeye) borescope. Superior American optic and made in USA. I am selling one in the forum.

Its all about the focus.
I bet that barrel leads up pretty bad with that leade chipped up like that
