I was cleaning my usak getting ready to go to the range on sat. and saw the tell tail sign of rust on my patches, ran 4 patches with rust duck, 4 dry and I don't if I should did it a patch of bore butter (I mainly use rem oil). shined a pin light down the berral and saw some pitting. I only paid $40 for the gun, and I need to last me 2 maybe 3 season. any ideas?
My son left his Knight Disc one whole season uncleaned, I took the barrel off the stock and soaked it in brake cleaner and cleaned the barrel of rust with the brake cleaner and got the breech plug off---it was frozen on. I cleaned the gun up and shot it, and it was still accurate, not quite as accurate as before, but acceptable for hunting. As long as the rifleing is in good shape without a lot of pits in it, your OK. Shoot it at 50 then 100 yards and see if it holds a group. Chap Gleason
