After a long time, years really , I'm finally finishing up my smoothie. I noticed some spots of surface rust, very little and fine grained in the barrel. What's the best way to remove this. Should I shoot it first or remove the rust? Should I lap it with a lead plug? ...Geo

I would either use 0000 steel wool on a long rod in and out or if it is too bad put some black wet/dry sand paper in a slotted tip on the rod, chuck it in your drill and run it in and out until it is cleaned up and polished good.Before you shoot it.
Ohhh pleeeeze don't. I like to eat occasionally. :rotf:

Get a bronze chamber brush for your bore size. Not a bore brush but a modern chamber brush which is a little bigger. Wrap a thin amount of OOOO steel wool around it and soak with Breakfree CLP or something like it, put it on a rod and chuck it in your drill. Give her a few spins, always moving the brush back and forth the full length of the barrel.
