Well went to big gun store in a nearby city and found some bore scrub. Came home tried that without any luck. I plugged both ends of the barrel and let solvent sit all night and scrubed it with a bronze brush without any luck. I then tried the tornado and it did clean it up a little but actually revealed the bore has minor pitting in three sections. One just in front of the chamber, another about in the middle of the barrel and one near the end of the barrel.

Can the barrel be saved? The pitting is not very deep beause the barrel has to be held at the right angle to see it clearly.

Thanks

Robert
