[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1488555, member: 10178"] Where people make so many mistakes when cleaning a bore is they don't leave the solvent in the barrel long enough for it to work. They run a patch with solvent through the bore and then go right behind it with a clean patch and remove it and don't let it work. With rust you should soak a patch with Kroil oil and run it through the bore a couple times to get it good and soaked. Then let it set at least over night so the oil can get under the rust and stuff and dissolve it and loosen it. Hopefully the bore is not pitted. Kroil is the best penetrating oil I have ever seen. I tested it one time on a really solid rusted bolt that was running through a piece of plate steel with a solid rusted on nut on the other side. I put the plate in a vice with the bolt head up and nut side down. I put some Kroil oil around the bolt head and left it until the next morning. When I came back the next morning oil was dripping off the bottom of the bolt past the nut and I put a wrench on and the nut came right off. It will penetrate rust and dissolve it better than anything I have ever seen. [/QUOTE]
