New GM .62cal Flint smoothbore barrel arrived today...always amazed by the amount of flash rust in a new factory barrel from GM...30 minutes with many wet WD40 patches and alternating passes of a bronze bore brush in a drill motor...and the orange colored patches gradually changed to machine oil black, then gray, then finally clean...will hit it again tomorrow night to be sure its stabilized...a lot of value for the clearance sale price of $100 !

I hope to get mine anytime now!62SB cap.I hope it comes tomorrow. Making a trip back east for a couple of weeks, and I sure would like to try it out before I leave.If not, I'll have Rebel check it out to check for rust, and I know he will have to shoot it, just to make sure it's good to go. What a friend!!!! :hmm:
I know, I know!
The fun part is seeing them patches come clean! Like the smell of coffee in the morning!

I got one .62 SB last spring, paid full price at that time :cursing: my barrel was spotless inside and out though. Could these reduced price barrels be some they stumbled across which were forgotten, just a thought. Wouldn't mind a .54 at that price.
Thanks RB for the GM headsup. got a .45, .50 and a .62 sb on the way. I don't think it was just some rusty barrels they were selling, instead it's
all the models that they aren't going to make anymore. They have the other barrels that are still in production but I think they are around $125, which is still a good deal.
