I have a rifle that is fairly new and the bore is has a dull finish. I have cleaned it with Hoppes 9, Rem Oil, CLP and the bore is still dull and the patched continue to come out with some black. So will fire lapping polish the bore. ( the lands or groves have a dull shine). The rifle is and M1 carbine by Auto Ordince.
