I OWN A T/C TRIUMPH AND I'M ENDING UP WITH RUST IN THE BARREL AFTER CLEANING AND LUBING THE BARREL WITH BORE BUTTER PATCHES AND LETTING THE GUN SIT. I ALSO I TRIED REMINGTON SPRAY OIL WITH TEFLON AS A LUBE AND IS STILL HAS RUST IN IT.AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG HERE. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY AUSTIN & HALLECK IN-LINE OR MY T/C HAWKIN FLINTLOCK. PLEASE HELP.

Well I would suggest you take a 50 cal bore brush and scrub the barrel real good. Use a real potent cleaner also. Sometimes I resort to carberator claner. Get all the existing rust out of the barrel. Then chekc the barrel or have it checked to see if it is pitted etc. I do not use bor butter anymore on newer barrels, a regular gun oil will work to keep them rust free etc. Is the gun stored in a dry place, i.e with a dehumidifier of some type working. Any other guns showing this effect?

TWERTH THE GUNS ARE STORED IN A DRY PLACE AND NONE OF THE OTHER GUNS SHOW SIGN OF ANY RUST. I DID PURCHASE THE 3-IN-ONE RUST INHIBITOR AND PUT IT IN WITH THE TRIUMPH TO SEE IF THAT HELPS. THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO AND HELP.

brush your barrel with break free then patch clean dry . when break free is out use transmission fluid as the oil . good luck .i been doing this for 40 years .transmission does not freeze or rust
