New SD9VE, rust in bore? (w/ picture)
Just picked up a new SD9VE and there appears to be rust on the edges of the rifling (see attached pic). It is in all the channels all the way down the bore. The bore and rifling -are- smooth (no pitting or marred surfaces; the photo is just a bit out of focus and has JPEG artifacts)...
I don't know if these come with grease or something from the factory, but cleaned twice with Hoppes #9 and rust color is still there. Might it be rust? Is it something common? Any thoughts on how to test/remove?
