Did I screw up my gun?
Hello...new to BP...hope I did not screw up my flintlock. I started cleaning it about 10 days ago, poured some water down the barrel, then tried to put a dry patch down. I didn't have the right jags and put the gun down (with lock off). Just took it up again tonight with the proper jags. My patches are coming out covered in brown, I assume it must be rust. Do you think I damaged the barrel? I ran more water down tonight, then dry patches then rem oil patches until they were almost clean. Anything else I should do?
Also, the first time I cleaned (10 days ago) I thought I got a patch stuck in the barrel. If its in there, it did not come out tonight. Is it dangerous to fire if theres an extra patch somewhere in there?
Thanks.
