Re: Removing rust from a barrel
Take an old bore brush, burn the bristles off it leavibg the wire skeleton.
Insert the brush, attached to a rod from the breech.
push it ou of the muzzle. Wrap masking tale around the shaft of the rod toact as a dam for the lead.
Heat up the muzzle a tad with a torch to ger it warm and help with the fill out.
Pull the brush end down into the barrel and pour a 2-3 lead lap.
Afer it cools push the lap part way out of the barrle, put some clover )valve grinding) compound on the lap and work it back and forth.
When you dont feel resistance you can clean it out and try it or make another lap as needed.
Hope this helps
