Re: Happy and Sad
Well, I did not take a break. I only spent a couple of hours tonight though. I plan to let it set with bore cleaner overnight. The patches are getting cleaner:
I have been running a mop with cleaner through the bore. Let it set for about 20 minutes, then run a brush. Then, I repeat the process. Next, I run a couple of patches with cleaner. I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel. The brown streaks are lighter and smaller.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Happy and Sad
Amen!! I thinking about this weekend. But, I will see how things go. My wife has made plans for us to take our daughter out to dinner for her birthday. However, it is about a 4 hour round trip to where she wants to go. The other day I may still be cleaning, hopefully not though.RanchRoper wrote:Won't be long until lead is flyin'!

I only spent about an hour cleaning tonight. But, this gives an idea about what I am working on for about 12 hours or so. It is blurry though.

Well, it looks like my new Henry is copper free now. I went to the LGS where I purchased it from for ideas. First, the owner could not believe such patches came from a new gun. He wanted me to forward him the pictures, so he could pass them on. Next, he suggested I should try Tetra Gun Copper Solvent. Yes, I thought it could have been an opportunity to make money. But, the stuff worked. I applied it five times as directed (more or less: My wife wanted to go to the store, so I let it set for about an hour instead of 30 minutes one time.) This is the patches I get now:
I think I am ready for the range now and see what the H009 will do at its best:
If nothing else, I did learn something. When I am considering purchasing a gun new or used, I should look down the barrel (regardless of the manufacturer). So, I could be partly responsible as well. But, I did look at a new H009 at the LGS today. And, the barrel was clean. So, it seems that some guns do come from Henry clean and does not require 20 or so hours of cleaning before using. To me, a clean gun should give a true indication of what it can do at its peak.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

If your taking closeups with your smart phone one of these will take some pretty impressive closeups, very narrow depth of field though.GFK wrote:I only spent about an hour cleaning tonight. But, this gives an idea about what I am working on for about 12 hours or so. It is blurry though.
