Is it normal to be pulling patch after patch after patch after patch of like a forest green color out of the barrel?? It seems like it's never ending!
I sprayed WD40 down the barrel, plugged it and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Ran a patch of Hoppes #9, let it sit for a half an hour and ran a brass brush through it about 6 times. I've been running more and more patches of more hoppes... Moved over to break free and its still showing a lighter forest green.
I'm startin to worry if i have a decent barrel?

Keep in mind, this is my first Mosin cleaning!
