So my Dad passed away 3 years ago and I have his TC .50 Hawken. I hadn't had time to really look at it until now. The rifle is beautiful...on the outside. The bore is not. I can only see the first inch or 2 down the muzzle but it doesn't look too clean. How can I view the rest of the bore? I went to the local gun shop and they did not have a light that would go into the nipple hole. A customer had a camera that we put down the bore and could see on the viewer that it indeed had some rust in the grooves of the rifling. Rust or corrosion or whatever. I have been scrubbing with CLP and brushes and 0000 steel wool for a few hours. Patches are coming out pretty clean now but... how can I see in there to know how it looks?
