groups?
1) Frost in the barrel... is it from corrosive primer salts?
2) How does it effect the rifleing?
3) Will light frost effect accuricy?
4) What can be done about frost?
thanx Dante'

I think the answer to your first question is YES. I believe the frost is a by-product of corrosive materials. I've had two rifles over the years that came with heavy frost....a for real K98k (not one of the current Russian refabs) and a Long Branch No4. The K98k was a patch shredder for weeks! I sold it a year or so ago to friend here in Omaha who loves it's a) authenticity and b) it's accuracy....yes, accuracy. The Long Branch was not as bad but to this day has about 2" of frost starting at muzzle and working back....where the pitting starts! At 200 yards I can put 5 of 5 rounds in a 5" gong. My point is that 1) the frost will never go away but hard shooting will take it down as low as it will go, 2) it has little to no effect on accuracy.
