For mild to moderate surface rust, Marvel Mystery Oil and a bronze brush that is slightly oversize will work well, followed by more MMO and cotton or linen patches, It will be a bit of work but will clear up the bore nicely, keep repeating the process until your patches come out with no brown on them. If there are pits in the bore this will still work, but the pitting will remain, making loading difficult at best and effecting accuracy. You can have the barrel "freshed out" or re-bored by a smith or replace it all together if it is too far gone.

What is best to remove rust in rifle barrel?
A very mild acidic cleaner <><><> For light rust, soak in penetrating oil (I like KROIL, but PB Blaster is good also) overnight. Rub with clean coarse cloth, such as burlap. Deeper rust may require stronger methods. Try a copper pot scrubber, such as a Chore Boy pad, toether with the oil. INSIDE the barrel, use a good bore cleaner, and a bronze bore brush.

How to brake down a 44 ca l army black powder pistol?
Ensure Safety: Before starting, make sure the firearm is unloaded. Remove any ammunition and place it in a safe location. Gather Materials: Collect cleaning materials such as cleaning patches, bore solvent, a cleaning rod, a bristle brush, and gun oil. Disassemble the Pistol: Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for disassembly. Typically, this involves removing the barrel, cylinder, and other easily detachable components. Inspect the Barrel: Check the barrel for any obstructions or fouling. Use a bore light to illuminate the barrel and identify areas that need cleaning. Run a Bristle Brush Through the Barrel: Attach the bristle brush to the cleaning rod and run it through the barrel several times to loosen and remove fouling. Ensure you're using a brush appropriate for black powder residue. Apply Bore Solvent: Soak a cleaning patch in bore solvent and run it through the barrel with the cleaning rod. Let the solvent sit for a few minutes to break down residue. Scrub the Cylinder and Frame: Use a brush to scrub the cylinder and other components, paying attention to areas with residue buildup. Apply bore solvent as needed. Wipe Down Components: Use clean patches to wipe down all components, removing solvent and residue. Repeat this process until patches come out clean. Inspect and Lubricate: Check all parts for wear and damage. Apply a thin layer of gun oil to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Pay attention to hinge points and other areas prone to friction. Reassemble the Pistol: Put the cleaned components back together according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure everything is properly aligned and secured. Function Check: After reassembly, perform a function check to ensure all parts are working correctly. Dry-fire the pistol (without live ammunition) to confirm the trigger, hammer, and cylinder function properly. External Wipe Down: Wipe down the external surfaces of the pistol with a clean, oiled cloth to protect against rust. Secure Storage: Once the cleaning is complete, store the pistol in a secure location, away from children and unauthorized users. Remember to always follow safety guidelines and the specific instructions provided by the firearm's manufacturer. Regular maintenance is crucial for the proper function and longevity of black powder firearms.

What does cleaning your gun mean?
If we are not speaking of metaphors... When a gun is fired, unburned combustion products accumulate in the barrel, along with small amounts of metal from the bullet. A gun barrel needs to be cleaned after firing to prevent these from fouling the barrel rifling or blocking the chambering or firing of rounds. In a revolver, the cylinder also needs cleaning to remove these products. In the old days prior to smokeless powder and non-corrosive primers, the combustion products from ammunition were quite acidic and could cause a steel barrel to rust away from the inside. The oil in guns also oxidizes over time into a sticky varnish and accumulates dust and dirt, requiring less frequent cleaning of the trigger and other moving parts.
