A military firearm that has been stored a long time can have dried grease in the barrel. Also, inexperienced shooters sometimes will shoot a barrel with grease in it. Either way these bores can look rough. I find that a bronze brush with carburetor cleaner on it will clean this hardened grease out of the bore. I have had several rifles that looked terrible in the bore and they wound up bright and shiny after this treatment.
Of course, bores fired with corrosive ammo and neglected are rusty and no amount of cleaning will help.
