My disc extreme is my fourth black powder gun. I have been cleaning the barrel the same as I did in my other ones. I get it good and clean with hot soapy water. Then at the end I hold on to the barrel with one hand with a chopper mitten on and pour boiling water down the barrel with an old coffee pot.Then I put a towel on the floor, and set the barrel against the wall muzzle end up breech end on the towel and let it dry and cool off a bit. Then I put some break-free clp on a patch and oil up the barrel, getting itready for storage.The thing that is different with this new gun is that the patch ends up a little rust colored when I do this, not bad but still a little troubling to me. I have shot and cleaned the gun twice and it has been the same both times.
This never happened with my other muzzleloaders. Can anyone explain why it is happening with this one? It is stainless steel and it seems to flash rust while the blued barrels did not.
Any tips welcome.
