[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2776045, member: 17722"] If you brush the barrel and run a wet patch afterwards and see rust looking residue. It is that leftover meloniting solution. If you really want to rid of that brownish looking stuff, just dunk the barrels in a tub of water and let them soak for days. You will see that water soluble solution ooze out of the barrel. Water won't rust the melonited surface. Just brush the stuff off in the tub When I get a batch of barrels for the kids, first thing I do is to remove the barrel extensions (BE) and leave them in the tub for a week or so. I serial number the BEs to the barrel as well as timed flash hiders ( FH). I can dunk every parts and not worried about BE snd chamber HS, nor I worry about FH TDC timing. Parts go back together as serial numbered. Some meloniting places do a better job in the final wash. The one we use are not worried much about the residue, the big oil drilling cutting bits don't care one bit... as I mentioned the oil industry pays their bills [/QUOTE]
