And this isn't anything unusual to find in a brand new gun that I haven't fired yet? The factory testing would be enough to leave that fouling there?
Please excuse my ignorance and paranoia here. I don't mean to irritate anyone.
My first AR had a comp on it which made it impossible to see down the muzzle. It was NCL to begin with so I wouldn't have been shocked to see rust.
My first ever rifle purchase was years ago with my 30-06 and I do remember copper fouling on that gun but it was only after I had fired it and the color was the blue/green of copper after oxidation. So I guess seeing it like this came as a shock to me because, well, I've never seen it like this. But I am glad that so far the consensus is that of copper fouling. And again, I'm sorry if my paranoia is irking people.
I should also probably learn how to clean a gun better...
