Honing pitted barrel.
This is my first post. I have a 62 caliber percussion rifle that is not fancy, but it needed some work when I got it, and the gunsmith used red locktite on the beechplug threads. So I couldn't remove the breach plug for routine cleaning. It's really hard to clean down to a dead end. I finally...- Gooddaytoya!
