For All BBB Owners - Please Read!

Post by Mistered » Sun May 06, 2018 6:40 pm

While helping another forum member I had to take the barrel band and forestock off of my BBB .357 and discovered a 'moderate' amount of the green copper carbonate built up on the inside of the barrel band and it had deposited on the barrel and the end of the forestock. It cleaned off easily and left no mark on the barrel but alla' ya' BBB owners might want to take heed and invest a few minutes into cleaning this area if ya haven't done so in a while.....
