new gun barrel won't get clean?

Try to run through a boresnake several times.

I use a Hoppes BoreSnake. It's the easiest way to get your shotgun's bore spotless. One pass through usually does it all, washable and reusable.

I put a good amount of BreakFree CLP on the BoreSnake's forward "skirt" and a little CLP on the tail, then pull it through. This cleans better than using the BoreSnake dry. Hoppers #9 would work fine for this too.

Uh oh. The shotgun barrel should be shiny all the way from one end to the other. If it's not, it may be corrosion instead of dirt. I would try to return the gun if you can. If you can't, put a drill on the end of your cleaning rod, use a bronze brush and see if you can use some high speed rotation to help you out. That's a bit of a last resort, but it beats scrubbing for eternity. It will get it as clean as it's going to get!

Wait is this a NEW gun?

And BTW dont worry about it too much. Its a shotgun. *Nobody say a word*

Just keep the action clean and the barrel from corrosion. Its not a precision rifle brother. Shot guns love dirty barrels. lol

There should be no residue. Return the weapon, specifying the problem. You should get your money back or receive a new replacement.

Look here on how to get that barrel real clean.... I do it this way and it works amazing!.....
