M'kay, so i've noticed some light rust inside of the chambers on my 15-2 and am looking for ideas / tips to get it all out and keep it out. So far i've only tried running my .357 brush through each after letting some wd-40 sit, but it didn't do the job completely.

Help, tips, tricks, ideas, ect greatly appreciated.

 

& Thanks for your time. 🙂

1.  Shoot more often!

 

2.  Scrub with fine steel wool.

Try chucking your .357 bore brush, on a cleaning rod, into your electric drill and scrub out the chambers on a pretty slow speed with the cleaner of your choice. Wrapping a little very fine steel wool on the brush may help polish them up a bit.

Then maybe something like this:

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

That's easy, all the above laughing I'll add a little elbow grease and persistance.

 

goodluck

I am pretty sure I have the same condition, but I do not think we are talking about rust. Instead I attribute the rough surface to either lead or flame cutting. This is especially bothersome, since I mostly shoot .38's and thus the when .357 are used the cases are sitting over this area and prone to sticking.

 

just my 2 cents.

Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box

in that order.

1 Palmer FB 15

1 Rossi 357 Model 92 (lever)

1 CZ 75B

Don't mean to hi-jack; but,

Pine- when you shoot the 38s in the 357, it seems like you may be making lead and or copper deposits before the cylinder throats as the bullets bump up (obturation) exiting the brass, prior to entering the throat.  Just a thought.  The front of the throats are probably shaving off a bit of the bullet in its flight and depositing it between the case mouth and throat. 

I had a cylinder that had some kind of deposit like that and used an Outers Foul-Out system to bring it back to life…

Using a chamber brush (not bore brush) in between boxes should help, I would think.
