I bought a used TC Greyhawk from a dealer. He knocked some $ off and had me wait while he dug up a bore light. Never saw anything like it. Green light that he dropped down the bore. I looked in and saw "something" about a foot from the muzzle. He said it was rust, not pitting and just to pay careful attention to it every time I cleaned the gun and to always check it every couple weeks even if I was not using the gun. Nice enough guy and I have no idea why he showed this to me.
So I get home and take the barrel off. Hmmm, I can't look down the barrel, the piece holding the nipple is in the way. The muzzle looks new when I look down it, but I can only see an inch down it with the naked eye.
So how do I tell if I cleaned this properly? Get the same bore light I guess. What do you guys use?
I was going to saturate a Scotchbrite pad with JB Bore Paste and run it up and down 50 times.
I noticed was that the ramrod appeared to be made painted wood with silver metal caps and that it fits loosely enough that it could fall out. I assume that one cannot tighten this and that I want a better metal or fiberglass ramrod anyway.
He told me the nipple was new. It appears to have some pink grease on it. Nor does it appear new, so I am not sure what the point was for the salesman in even bringing it up. Are nipples replaced very often?
Running 4 windex patches through, they come out looking like I used them to dab coffee off my shirt. Is this good? Bad? In between?
Lastly, what is the part number of a scope mount for a Greyhawk?
