The barrel will dry out from the heat of the water. The last couple of swabs change the water to just hot water. Remove the nipple and swab it out with cloth patches until its really clean. Get a bucket and fill it with boiling water and some dish soap. Once that is done and assuming the barrel you currently have is the good one then I would clean the bore up. Don't shoot it until you get that figured out. There was a recall on many of these guns and barrels were replaced at no cost. First off you need to contact CVA and determine if the barrel on your rifle has been replaced.
