Cleaned my Traditions Hawkens with hot soapy water and dried it very well with several dry patches. Barrel was cleaned to a mirror finish. I coated the bore with a single patch with a little bore butter smeared on it. A week later I ran a dry patch down the bore and it had light orangeish colored streaks that looked like rust . Barrel still looked mirror finish bright and I was told this this was just "oxidized " bore butter. Not sure if that make since so I thought I'd ask more informed BP shooters here for input. -Thanks
