Good morning all. So recently I had my dad dig out his CVA 45 cal Kentucky pistol that he made from a kid before I was born. I can remember shooting this pistol when I was probably 12 or 13. Due to their work overseas it stayed in storage 4 to 5 years at a time. The barrel on this was extremely rusty. I was able to remove the drum. The barrel has soaked some in WD-40 and I have worked it over real well with a brass cleaning brush. Still the barrel is extremely rusty all the way down.
What are my options here? Can I have it re bored to a 50 cal? Any thoughts on possible cost involved? Do I look for another barrel?
I’d like to be able to bring it back. Would love to have it be something that we can continue to shoot. Maybe even take out in the woods deer hunting.
Thanks
