Sweat box Q.
« on: March 17, 2009, 05:29:50 PM »
I'm ignerant of these things. So why doesn't the bore of a barrel get all brown and rusty just like the outside does? I've never heard anyone say anything about this. Could it be that it's not an issue?

Normally, you would oil the bore good, then put a cork in the muzzle, and seal up the vent. At least that's what I've been doing, right or wrong.
