Hi,

I'm relatively new at muzzleloading -- it's probably been a year or two since I bought a Traditions percussion cap muzzleloading rifle.

My question is: it seems like no matter what I do, after I let my rifle sit for a few days my patches come out with brown rust stains on them. What do you guys do to make sure your rifle doesn't rust?

I'm cleaning it with TC #13 Bore Cleaner until the patches are clean. I was putting bore butter on it after it was clean but now I'm putting gun oil on it. No matter what I do, it seems that, after a few days sitting around, if I run a patch before I shoot I get a really brown, rusty patch.

Thanks!

There will always be someone inventing something new for people to spend their money on, & mostly it is inferior to what has been available for hundreds of years.
Just try washing your barrel out with boiling/hot water, & once dry oil it with sweet oil or neetsfoot oil & you should not have this problem again.

Keith TC 1000+ is not a Johnny come lately, Ive been using it for decades.
There is nothing better for your bore, period.

Wash you barrel, and remove the seasoning. Add oil, burn powder, sludge happens.
He will have nothing but problems. All flatlanders do. Until they figure it out.

Here on a sticky is the recipes for Moose snot, and moose milt, the make it your self TC 1000+. Still not as good as the store bought, but beats getting your ramrod and ball stuck form sludge.
