I just got a new 1851 navy colt in August. I havn't shot it yet. Tonight I took it apart to clean it before taking it to the range tomorrow and I found some rust in the barrel at the breach end. I've had superficial rust in new guns before and I just run some patches with solvent through them and cleaned it out. Well, I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and found that the barrel was pitted not just rusted. There is no other rust on the gun so I'm thinking its not just me storing it improperly or something it must have been rusted before it got to me. Am I with in my rights to send it back and ask for a replacement? I do plan on calling the place where I got it to ask. Has this happened to any of you?
