Thread: Bore Rust?

as some have said on the forum the acid test is what does it shoot like - if its acceptable then just use it -if the severe corrosion is only muzzle end then perhaps a little of barrel and recrown job - I can see a reasonable rifling edge from the last photo so all may not be lost -but solvent solvent solvent cant beat it -I have always carried a pull thru out in the scrub and if I suspect moisture may have got in then a dry rag thru - when I was culling we ran our 308 barrels with a very very thin trace of oil in barrel - did not effect accuracy- but with our .222 or .270 no way one can do that -
