I spoke with a gunsmith at T/C today about the pitting inside of my Encore 50 cal. barrel. He asked me the process in which I clean my barrel prior to putting it in the cabinet for the summer. I told him that I used No.13 to clean it then ran some Bore Butter down to lube it. He recommended that I did not use bore butter because it acts as a sealer and seals moisture in the barrel which is causing my pitting problem. He said to use Hoppe's #9 as your last lube. This is the second Encore barrel that this has happened to of mine. Anyone else hd this problem and do you use bore butter?
