I'm brand new to muzzeloading so of course I went to Auction Arms and
bought a Thompson/Center Black Diamond for about $100. The seller
advertised that it was in excellent condition. When I received the gun
I found a fair amount of rust in the barrel. I tried cleaning it using
Bore Blaster and a brush but it will not come out. However, it did
improve. My question is this, is the gun junk now or is there a better
way to remove the rust. I like the gun and would like to keep it,
besides, it would be more of a hassel to try and get my money back and
I would be out the shipping and handling. I suppose from now on I'll
buy new or at least from a reputable dealer. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
