So, bought a used rifle, didnt have all the stuff to put the package together so stored it as per my norm, muzzle down, with a few shots of Remoil down the bore. Been doing this almost 20 years now, but never saw this before. Upon picking it up after a few months and a few extra squirts to loosen up any crud in the core, there were what looked like bloodclots, of copper in the container the muzzle was resting in. When I punched the bore I got more. Almost looks like bright green clear toothpaste.
In the end I used all the bore cleaner I had on this rifle, 3 different brands, to get it clean.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this clotting effect before?
