I agree...As long as you keep the plastic and fowling out of the pitts. (Which is next to impossible).


Once you get the rust out of the pits with vinegar or something else and get the bores well-oiled, plastic and fowling in the pits should not be a problem as long as you are not using black powder. Just swab the bores with good oil and keep shooting. IF the gun is safe with rust in the pits, then it's still safe with clean pits that build up some plastic.
