I loaned a spare muzzleloader out to a friend of mine just starting out hunting last year. I told him take it home practice with it and see how he likes it. I got it back recently and it doesn't look like he ever cleaned it even though I explained it to him and showed him how. After getting last years load out which was a pain in the ass I gave the gun a major douching wash rinse repeat many times over. I took a wine cork to the grinder until it would fit in the end of my barrel and filled the barrel with solvent to help breakdown the heavy stuff. The barrel is nice and shiny now but looks like it has a bit of pitting. I haven't had the chance to shoot it to check for accuracy due to the weather so I thought I would post my question here. I'm thinking of sending it down the road to another friend but dont want to sell him a lemon
