He was always lusting over it and he was going to get it anyway so I gave it to him just to see him go crazy(along with his daughter). When I got home, I realized I had a whole bunch of .357 ammo and nothing to shoot it with. So whats a man supposed to do? Why buy another .357 rifle you silly people! And here in is the problem. A Big Boy Carbine H012MRCC made its way to my door. Inspecting it at the LGS, all seemed right. I got it home knowing that it needed to be cleaned. The barrel was filthy from testing and I expected that. Two hrs later and the bore will not come clean. I used two different brands of bore cleaners, ran a brass brush numerous times but it is still not shiny It is better but not all where it should be, It does not look pitted. It looks like smudges or streaks up and down the bore. The patches come back black and green and then clean but the bore is still not clean. Repeat, repeat. Same thing. I am going to let the bore soak in Hoppe's #9 over night and then see what happens. Any thoughts ? If it does not clear up, back it goes and I have been down this road so many times with my Henry's. I don't understand why I keep buying Henry's. It is like being in a bad relationship that you want to end but something just keep pulling you back. Did I tell you Anthony and I are on each others Christmas card list?
I just joined up on the Henry site and was reading on and came across this post and seen you were an old trooper in the Nam also. I was with the 173 rd Airborne Brigade from April 67 - April of 68 as a pointman and did my 2nd tour with the 82nd. Airborne in 68 as a sniper also.
Welcome home brother.
