Plug the chamber, and fill the barrel with a good lead removing cleaner, then let it sit for a day or two. It will still take some elbow grease and a brush if it is lead fouling. If you damage the rifling using rough methods, you'll ruin it.

Just don't do that with the Lead Out product. It's a lead dissolver and not simply a cleaner that creeps in under the lead to loosen its grip on the bore. I've left Lead Out in for an hour without a problem, but it's really just meant for 20 minute exposure.

I once badly leaded a .22 with cheap and nasty ammo.
I got tired of soaking and scrubbing, so I dug out my little phial of mercury. Too scary, now, though. |

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Glen...3D262608394642 This barrel is can be had for $35.00 +/- a few. I have a Model 60 Marlin that has never been fired, it was made in the '90s, problem, shipping and transfer would exceed the cost of the barrel on EBay. And then there is cleaning lead from a barrel, I have mercury but I will not use it to remove lead. The good news? You loaded a round, pulled the trigger and something left the barrel. I am not the fan of forcing the bullet to pass anything in the barrel so I suggest you do not shoot the rifle again. It is possible after cleaning the barrel will require replacing and there is a possibility the rifle was used to shoot anything 22 meaning the throat could be eat up. I have seen 22 long rifle cases expand in diameter because of throat erosion caused by 22 shorts and longs. F. Guffey |

Replacing the barrel in the Marlin 60 is a breeze.
Wow- some really bad advice in this thread. |

…And it's non-specific. Now the OP doesn't know which advice Slopemeno thinks is "bad" so he can't distinguish it from what Slopemeno thinks is good, or why. Folks, in general, please don't just issue a blanket dump on things. Please specify the target(s) of the criticism and, if possible, your reasoning, or you serve to confuse the inexperienced.
