I found the worst thing possible on my C-Sharps 1874 today..... rust. The rust was pretty bad and formed where the barrel was laying against the case that it was in, there are no deep pits though. What are my options on getting this fixed? I have tried to clean it but I知 pretty sure the rust goes into the bluing so I知 guessing the barrel will have to be polished and re-blued?
Should I try to send this back to C-Sharps to have them work on it or should I send it to another well known gunsmith for these types of guns?
Thanks I知 advance for the help!
