Any chance you could make a chamber cast? Think that would give a good idea what your looking at there.

I don't think that will be too accurate . From the videos I've seen it is good to get dimensions but the cast is not smooth.
I ordered a bore camera, gets in Tuesday I will take pics of the inside of the bore along with before and after pictures of me cleaning it with kroil

I have no experience with a Trapdoor rifle but you might be able to clean like other guns. Can you get a .410 bronze shotgun bore brush into the chamber? If so soak with Hoppes and go to town on it. That should help remove the surface rust from the chamber.Comment

I had a very crusty barrel on a Krag rifle. I was going to replace it, but on a whim, I decided to try and clean it up. I took a stainless bore brush for a .40 caliber and ran it up and down the bore using a drill and an old cleaning rod that I cut the handle off of.
That bore came out as shiny as could be after a few minutes of work with the drill.MLC member.
