[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rusty Barrel?

Posted: 4/10/2006 4:49:23 PM EDT

Got a question for the AR-15 veterans out their... Just got a brand new upper in the mail & looks like rust is covering a lot of the barrel. Wouldn't this be unacceptable for a brand new upper? My RRA Entry Tactical doesn't have anything like this. Tried to attach a pic showing the rust. What should I do?

It looks more like old preservative, maybe cosmoline or similar. A little brake cleaner on a rag or maybe mineral spirits will probably get rid of it.
