Sooo, last evening I was sitting in front of the boob tube, watching the political debate and playing with my Paterson. Decided to see how well that loading tool (wrench end) worked, so removed the barrel and cylinder and
began removing the firing cones. The threads of the first cone was covered in red rust! "Nuts!" I muttered. I removed the other four cones and and found they were rusted too!
I took a small bore light and inspected the interior chambers. There were a few flecks of rust in each chamber, but it hadn't pitted the chambers as yet.
I cleaned the cones and scrubbed out the chambers, after which I re-oiled
everything. I found this surprising as the pistol had arrived sealed in a plastic bag covered with a liberal coating of oil. Makes me wonder what the interior
of the pistol frame looks like. For the amount of money I paid for this Paterson, it should have arrived in perfect condition! End of rant.
