Set this little 22-250 up for my daughter, rifle might have a 150 rounds down it. Had the barrel threaded and a brake put on about 4 months ago and the first time I removed it was today.
What is on the end of my barrel?
- Thread starter Kevins750
- Start date
Carbon build up.
Happens to all my barrels with Culpepper irritation devices.

Do I need to remove it.
edit*************soaked the muzzle in patch out for about an hour and then rubbed them off with a rag.

I’ve had a piece break off and accuracy go to hell and the deeper it gets the harder it is to remove.
It’s surprisingly not effecting accuracy normally.

Looks like decent amount of carbon build up in 150 rounds, but then again I don’t know how quick the 22-250 builds carbon up.
My 6 creed with a muzzle brake builds up carbon pretty quick. I found the easiest method of removal is taking a normal dish sponge, applying some patch out and lightly scrubbing. No soaking required, but if anyone with more gunsmithing knowledge thinks this is a bad idea PLEASE let me know.
After several range trips, I get an interesting "tiny bubbly" black carbon buildup on my ASR Muzzle Brake that I use with my Chimera-300 can. Takes soaking in CLP and hard-scrubbing with a brush to remove it. No buildup when shooting through the brake unsuppressed.
