Mosin-Marauder

Today I decided to clean and oil my Mosin-Nagant again because I haven't and won't be firing it for a while. And after running half a pot of boiling water down the bore, some patches, Q-Tips, and some Shooter's Choice followed by a light coat of Filtered Lubricant. I looked up the bore and help it to the light and saw some small specks of what I think are particles from the napkins and paper towels I was using for patches after I ran out of .30 patches. But after running some cold water down the bore and running some more paper towels down the bore. Most of the specks went away but there appeared to be some more closer to the chamber in larger numbers. Could this be rust? Would it be okay to leave in the barrel (whatever it is) until I can clean it again? Thanks a lot for your help, i just don't want anything to happen to my rifle.
