Hey guys,
Longtime lurker here; working on my first build with all the great info the site has to provide. Anyway... I bought a new chrome lined barrel a couple of weeks ago and just finally got home from school to open it up and take a look. What I found is some discoloration just a little inside the muzzle that looks like rust... I know a chrome lined barrel shouldn't rust inside the bore, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I made a couple passes with the bore brush to no effect. There doesn't appear to be any degradation of the lands or grooves in the affected area, just a rusty color. So... is this something to worry about... or am I in the clear. Thanks a bunch for the help.

I guess they must test fire these things at the factory.
