Not sure what carbon ring build up is but likely what I found on a used (1974) Remington 572 Fieldmaster pump I bought at a local auction a couple of years ago. The rifle was in excellent condition and action worked smoothly but when I got it home and loaded rounds it was very stiff chambering rounds. Lots of carbon / lead buildup up. Brushes and Hoppes took care of it. Lightly clean and oil barrel of .22s after each use. Usually 100+ rounds.
