I've acquired a rifle that was somewhat abused. With the bore light I do not see any significant rust deep in the barrel. With the bore light, or just the right amount of outside light there is visible rust in the last two inches of barrel towards the muzzle. I have used some 0000 steel wool and removed some of it. Patches show orange for a while and eventually look clean, but a few days later the orange returns. This is a 54 caliber caplock that has fast ROT so will be used with heavy conicals. What is your experience and/or opinion? Will it shoot accurately? Any hope for this rifle? Remedies?
Thanks
