I was into black powder for 2 years. On year 3, I went to shoot and pulled back the trigger and rust dusted my index finger, hammer did not move. The only thing I could figure is that I stored it downstairs in the box and moisture got in. I pulled the slug and cleaned it up. and put it on the wall. That was five years ago.

My question is, if I rebuilt the trigger assembly would the barrle be ok? There has to be some rust in there from five years. I want to get back into black powder but I don' t want to blow my head off either.

Are there any Gun Smiths out there or anyone else that could put in a word or two.
