My Eclipse Custom II has some corrosion on the barrel. This came from storage in a high humidity environment that I did not adequately prepare for.
Now I want to see if I can clean it up. Related, I'm looking into adding a mag well, extended slide release, and compensator. The comp means that if this barrel is destined to be ugly, I could replace it with a threaded one.
What can I do to clean it? Is it safe to go the steel wool route, or will that ruin the fit (especially near the bushing)?
If I were to get a threaded barrel, can I expect similar (good to very good) accuracy from a higher-end "drop-in" barrel? I don't think I'm up for true fitting....
