Description

0:00 Finding rust with the white patch test 2:25 Safety rules before cleaning 3:22 The overnight oil soak 5:35 Cleaning with a bronze bore brush 7:12 Removing stubborn rust with copper 8:46 Using wet and dry patches 9:36 Inspecting the bore for pitting 11:57 Protecting the bore in storage I show you how to find hidden rust in a gun barrel and remove it before it causes more damage. I walk through the white patch test, explain how to tell fouling, copper, and rust apart, and cover the safety rules that come before cleaning. Then I demonstrate an overnight oil soak, full-stroke bronze brushing, and a pure copper scrubber for stubborn spots. I also explain how to inspect the bore for pitting or a bulge, when to bring the gun to a gunsmith, and how to protect the bore with proper oiling, storage, and regular checks.
