OK, maybe not a chisel, but I'm seeing gouges in this barrel that look like a combination of a rounded metal rod and a flat-blade screwdriver. Several marks that are scattered in a circular type pattern, about two inches from the end of a 1917 45 acp. They appear as if two separate "tools" were used that slipped off the stuck squib or perhaps was jammed against the bullet and the barrel wall, then struck w/hammer.
I ran a clean cotton t-shirt swab through that was tight enough I had to twist the material and a gouge snagged a teeny shred of material. I blew on the end of the barrel (insert joke here.) and it easily dislodged.
Is there a S&W tool that follows the rifling and cleans up or am I going to have to polish it out w/ball ammo?
It's been shot and semi-cleaned. I pulled most of the residue off w/clean cloth. This was mostly a shiny bore w/some junk towards the end. I pulled a clean cloth through w/string and nothing else.
