    I've noticed the exact same thing on my 700's. Especially when the barrels are on the new side. I have run a pretty decent borescope down them and don't really see any inclusions or burring that would hang onto the copper more, but my eyes aren't what they once were.

    I don't see how a design flaw could cause this. Hell, I thought it was just mine that did it.

    I clean roughly every 500 or less as a preemptive action on those particular guns.

    AR's get copper cleaned at somewhere between 3k and 5k though I can't say I've personally noticed any accuracy issues at those round counts. It's just a nervous tick and I just can't stand a nasty freaking weapon.

    Could be slightly narrower bore diameters. We were over at the RifleSmith's shop looking at some of the whacked out stuff that comes from Factory bolt guns... reminton included.

    We got to run guages through them and some Krieger barrels for comparison. Interesting to see EXACTLY why a Krieger barrel is worth it.
