I recently have been tasked with cleaning my wife's grandmother's 22 Long Rifle, and after almost 100 years, and god knows how long it has been since it has been properly cleaned, I have questions about what to do with a corroded barrel. I cleaned it with typical Hoppes No. 9 cleaning solvent and using the wire brush included in my gun cleaning kit, it didn't make much of a difference. Does anyone have any tips, or should I take it to someone to restore it. Though I know that it isn't worth much to the average joe, but it has obviously been in the family for at least 4 generations.
