    CVA Kentucky bore rust?

    If you run a wet patch of a product called LPS-1 down the bore after you've cleaned it you shouldn't have any more problems. It comes in a spray can and you can get it at most auto parts stores. It dries to a dry lube film. I,ve been using the stuff for 35 years (after trying everthing else...
