While cleaning 2 of my MLs a TC Hawkin and Knight Disc I cleaned both barrels with solvent until the patches came out clean and then I used hot soapy water to swab the barrels. After that I put the Hawkin barrel in the oven at 350 deg a tip a friend of mine gave me. After I pulled it out of the oven I ran a patch soaked with Bore Butter down the Hawkin barrel and it came out looking orangish brown color. Than I finished cleaning the Knight with a few more dry patches to make sure it was dry and then a BB soaked patch down the bore and it also came out with the same color but not as bad. I have never let them sit uncleaned, how could they have rusted? Could it just be powder residue from Pyrodex and T7? Looking down the Kight barrel it looks shiny and I can't see any rough spots.
Any thoughts?
