i've been trying to "polish" a neglected muzzle loader barrel but i cant get rid of the rust brown haze on the outside.
been using several grades of steel wool and when i look straight onto the barrel it looks nice and shiny silver, but when i look along the barrel there's still a rust brown haze.
does anyone know how to get rid of that?
i'm not a fan of using vinegar like is suggested on some websites and videos, i just end up with more rust or blackened parts that look worse than with the brown "patina" that was on there before.
