[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 105413"] [ QUOTE ] I can see some little pits in between the rifling at the end of the barrel who knows what that is doing to it! [/ QUOTE ] This is your basic galvanic corrosion. This happens when an electrolyte is present such as moisture, or any fluid like substance that can create a path of ion transmission. Your pitting youre seeing is actually metal removed due to anode and cathode tramission of ions resulting in what you see as rust. No cure for your pitting it will always be their unless you mechanically or chemically remove it. Once it starts it is more prone to beign in that area since it has started its transformation back to its original composition which was iron ore. Corrosion is bascially that, a metals desire to return to its natural state. Many boats will place a section of magnesium on their boat if it is steel. This is called sacrafical corrosion where you introduce an anode that will corrode before the cathode. This allows the rest of the boat to become the cathode and will not corrode. The magnesium must be changed often as it will corrode at an accelerated amount. You must always have three things for corrosion to begin; 1 anode, 2 cathode, and 3 a way for the ions to travel through some sort of medium that will conduct electricity (water, moisture). If you remove any one of the three items your metal will not corrode. Hope this helps ya out. Dave [/QUOTE]
