hey all sorry its been so long since ive been here but i needed to ask u all somthing................who wants tacos?

lol anyways what i really wanted to do is run somthing by you so here goes.

ive been useing hbn for about 180-200 rounds now in a brand new barrel so i cleaned it lastnight and even though my patches come out 100% clean my bore is still black as night is that just the hbn embeded in my barrel and turned black from fireing it? or is there a real bad carbon issue im having

i used kg12 then used patch out wipe out with accelerater

shoots like a dream so i know i shouldnt worry but i am wondering what it is and if i should be concerned.

thanks all

Re: hbn making my barrel black????

anyone even know if that sounds like a bad thing or if it is reasonable to think it would just be the hbn that embeded into the barrel turning black do to carbon staining it?
 
Re: hbn making my barrel black????

That is the HbN burnished into the bore from firings, it does not build up like moly so if your patches are clean call it a day.

Re: hbn making my barrel black????

After 2000+ rounds of Hbn coated bullets I have never experienced any "black" in the barrel.

but...if it shoots...
 
Re: hbn making my barrel black????

Well that's odd my friend just started shooting them in his m40 so after he gets a cpl hundered rounds through it and see how his bore looks.

Hexagonal Boran nitrate
its like moly coating only said to be a little better in some ways.
