OK!! Lets have the shock horror and gnashing of teeth thing over and done with now!! Lead fowling of barrels and the removal of such. I use the tried and tested no hard work or vigorous barrel scrubbing Victorian gunsmiths method. Put a cork in the barrel breach pour half an egg cup of Mercury yes that is what I said Mercury via the muzzle cover with a polythene bag and seal with the palm of your hand or another cork and swill the said Mercury from end to end a dozen times. Hay presto all the lead fowling will have Magically disappeared with very little effort on your part!!
