ONLY REASON i SAY 36 INCH IS TO AFFORD SPACE FOR YOU TO GRIP WITH 2 HANDS.
I've read of people using molasses with good results.
Anybody here tried it?
Might be time for me to start a new thread, but for now, I’ll keep this one active. I just got around to swabbing the bore with some steel wool (0000) wrapped around a .45 Cal jag and some Remoil. It worked a little on the rust in the bore, but not what I was hoping for. There is pitting in the bore, so there is probably no way I will ever get all of the rust out. It is patchy here and there throughout the entire bore. Below is a photo I just took after the steel wool and running some dry patches thru the bore.
If I run an oily patch thru the bore, should I run some dry patches thru it before shooting?
