Just got done removing a carbon ring from a 22 RF. Soaking definitely helps but once the ring is well formed there is no option but using JB Paste. A bit of 0000 steel wool wrapped around a 17 calibre brush with paste on it and working only on spot with the ring, cleans out the carbon ring faster than anything else I have tried.
I did try automotive type carbon remover and it works pretty well on light carbon to keep rings away but was never able to get it to remove a really well developed one. Were any of you able to get a carbon remover to get rid of a ring without using an abrasive paste?
