Ignition Override

The air cond. problem was during about one-two days, several months ago.
The bad news: had decided to sell the Service Grade Garand back to the buddy (retired Navy Rifle Team) who sold it to me, unaware of the bore condition.
A different buddy who also is a competitor discovered a good bit of rust in the bore.
This M-1 had a very bright bore but I had allowed powder residue to remain in it for months.
This other guy said that he got most of the corrosion out and that the rifle shoots well. He uses Butch's Bore Shine.
Now it's time to go through the other twenty guns. I felt bad that the other guns had been cleaned with oil patched in the bores, but not the nicest rifle-that Service Grade M-1 with the bore which Had possibly designated in a category Above Service Grade.
One response is to buy a large, pricey safe, but there's no point for some SKS, Saigas, AKs, Makarovs, all of which will be checked on a regular basis.
