    Advice needed, I"ve got the pits!

    Afternoon team.

    I'm after some advice on some serious pitting on the barrel of my rifle.

    Ruger 708 Hawkeye.

    It has an over barrel suppressor which covered the problem.

    I brought it off my father who has a very slack attitude towards gun cleaning. He should know better!

    It's only a bush gun and rarely shoots over 150m. I can still hit a tennis ball at that range.

    The problem is the rust wont stop growing....

    Easiest option is to keep treating and wait for the suppressor to blow out and replace both, just wondering if there are any other options?

    Thanks
