[QUOTE="Loggerhead Mike, post: 80614, member: 774"] it had the bullet with plastic cap, and powder left in it. turned solid as a rock and the brass bullet tip corroded to the barrel. it looks like its just thin ring layer of solidified powder around the barrel where the bullet was. ive been soaking and cleaning the barrel for 2 days straight now. i soaked it overnite in lead fauling solution, got the bullet to come out and cleaned, soaked in the blackpowder solution overnite and cleaned. during the work hours ive been spraying it down letting sit for an hour or so and running the wire brush threw it. done that bout 10 times now. i got an appt to take it to the gunsmith monday to have him take a look at it and see if he can re-hone the barrel, but the shop told me he usually doesnt work on blackpowder. 1 downfall of living in a small town. if nobody will look at it im just going to strap it to a tree and tie a string to the trigger and see if it doesnt blow up :mrgreen: . it will make for a great video anyhoo [/QUOTE]
