Hi folks,
My second set of barrels I'm attempting to black have leaky ribs. I'm begining to think that this is pretty common or I'm just good a picking the wrong guns. Anyway...maybe I just stop and get them relaid although not bad it is irritating having small blooms of contamination in a couple of places.
I was hoping that after the first boiling it would just be hot/water but it takes 2 days to leak out and always waits until the rusting liquid is on and dried...then it leaks...
Are there any remedies out there? Is there a way to beat this problem or do I give up and get the ribs laid again? I've been told by more than one gunsmith that even when relaid they can still leak it makes me wonder if there are any tricks to working with the problem!
Cheers
T
