RE: help with some rust problems
corey if it is minor pitting and you got it clean and the rifle is shooting well, I'd say don't worry about it. One problem you may have is it will be harder to load.
If you are having accuracy trouble or finding it difficult to load, you can make your own bore plug and lap your bore. I've done it before on an old T/C .45 hawken barrel that a friend gave me that was pitted pretty good.
To make a bore plug, put a couple of patches in the bore about 4 - 6" from the muzzle,slide anew, fluxed upbronze brush of the right caliber into the bore leaving the threaded end sticking out then pour molten lead all around it. When the lead solidifies, screw on your cleaning rod and pull it out. The lead will not adhere to the steel in the barrel and will come out when you remove the patches with a worm.
Apply a lapping compound like J-Bs to the plug and line it up with the rifling of you barrel and work it back and forth to polish your bore. One thing, this plug will only be specific to this rifle. And don't over do it. You want the edges of the lands to remain sharp.
