Glad to be on the forum! I've been snooping and reading and decided tonight to go ahead and join.
My mom and I picked out and purchased an American Knight for my dad at Christmas back in mid-late 90s. I knew nothing at the time about muzzleloading. My dad sure was proud of that little muzzleloader. He neglected it badly and I'm not sure the barrel is salvageable or will shoot accurately. Just lots of fouling and some rust inside that I can see. He told me to go ahead and see if I can sell it, but there isn't a market for it really.
After researching on here and reading many positive posts on that gun and really that whole family of Knight guns, I think I'll try to get the barrel cleaned up and keep it. It would be fun to have an older inline to tinker with and one thing I love about that gun is how short and light it is for stalking.
Any recommendations on how to clean a badly corroded barrel? No rust on outside of the barrel, just some nasty looking stuff inside.
I'd like to get some loose t7, and some 250 grain hornadys and see what I can do with the gun after cleaning it up.
