Re: Cleaning

That dark coating on the business end of the cylinder is a bunch of "carbon rings". As you start to clean it you'll see the rings will become more defined. This is just residue from the burned up powder and it's very normal.

Take some gun cleaner like Hoppes and a good stiff brush (I like bronze brushes for this task) and scrub away. You likely won't get it all off unless you take some metal polish to it, but it will be back as soon as you fire the gun again anyway.

A little carbon never hurt anything, just don't let it build up.
