I bought a Carl Gustaf 1901 Swedishicon Mauser at a gun show the other day. Its a beautiful gun, This is my first Mauser and it is in really good condition. I forgot my pocket flash light for the show (big mistake). After removing all cosmolineicon and doing the initial cleaning, i noticed that inside the chamber is a white discolouriztion with a small patch of bright orange rust. This of course is very sad after falling in love with it. My question is can the rust be removed by a gunsmith?? I know rust isn't hard to remove but the chamber seems tough and if so can it deform the chamber causing the shells to crack? Let me know what you guys think.
