what about getting around a vent rib, ??

@pachuagfirearmsrestorationsКүн бұрын

@@bustersmith5569 I've rolled up 4 ought steel wool like yarn and fit it under the rib. Once you have it through a gentle shoe shine motion with plenty of oil will work on light rust.

Thanks bro. I'm looking at kinda sorta restoring the Winchester Model 77 my dad just handed down to me. The wood looks ok to good, but not great. the barrel has some surface rust as it gets a bit humid in the room they kept it in. So I'm going to have to break into my stash of antique pennies in my safe & try that trick first. Thanks for the video!

They’re proud of those old turds around here they want more for one of those than they do for a brand new Stevens 410…lol. No-brainer by brand new with a warranty and removable chokes.

Yea this is great if you just have minor surface rust, but if you have deep pitting and pockets, this won’t do much.

What is penetrating fluid brand?

I use 50/50 automatic trans fluid and K1 kerosene

I so want to add this to the stock on my lever action. But don’t want to buy a tap to cut threads. It would be a one time use. Ugh.

Which is your penetrating fluid of choice?

@JohnDoeEagle1Ай бұрын

Kroil here but a 50/50 mix of automotive automatic transmission fluid and acetone works very well to soak the parts in as well. He doesn't cover that here using a piece of PVC pipe with a cap glued on one end and a threaded coupling and threaded removable plug on the other. Most these KZread guys go about it more rough than you probably should. He's already scratching away with abrasives when what he should have done was mixed up that 50/50 mix and used the PVC pipe to let them soak for a few days. Often times that lifts it off with no "scrubbing" at all. Both the Kroil and the home brew 50/50 mix get under the rust and float it off the surface and away.

I’ve got one of these Stevens here in NZ, it’s in considerably worse condition unfortunately. The stock is full of cracks and the screw holding the trigger guard on was snapped off by a previous owner and to repair it they welded the trigger guard on. Current working on removing the snapped screw then I’ll move onto the cracked stock.

I bought an old M2 stock from J&G sales for my M1 Carbine to replace the plastic stock on it. It’s old, dried out, and super dark. It’s sat for a long time without any oil on it. I’m going to try this on it, I bought the stock for $30 so if it doesn’t clean up to well it’s no loss to me, I have no knowledge of woodworking so videos like yours has helped me build enough confidence to try it

@drummer08643 ай бұрын

I've used the lids from plastic buckets. Flat, thick enough, and white all the way through. I only did a couple that I was redoing the stock on, so it was easy to just screw them in-between the stock and the but plate and finish all to the same contour.

Always had good luck with heating up the metal with a heat gun/hair dryer. Seems to help the blue set up, I also card with degreased 0000 steel wool between coats. Barrel looks great, going to have to try the T4.

Green scotchbrite will scratch chrome. White scotchbrite most gentle. Maroon is still pretty abrasive.

I recently picked up a nice-looking Colt Diamondback 22LR and brought it home for disassembly, inspection and cleaning. The exterior was beautiful but I when I removed the side plate, I was stunned. Inside, the interior surfaces of the frame had formed a superficial surface rust (but thankfully no pitting) even though all the small parts looked fine. With all the nooks and crannies, an old penny, a copper Brillo pad or steel wool was out of the question. My plan of attack is to soak it overnight with Kroil and then go at it with a copper-bristled toothbrush. After that I'll spray the interior with Hornady's "One shot" which goes on wet and then dries, leaving a thin, protective film to protect the metal from any further corrosion.

Good shit, keep it up. Have built quite a few stocks and getting them checkered was impossible/expensive. Decided to have a go at it myself. Steep learning curve did you say? I have done 3 stocks now. Started with a crappy one and it came out pretty bloody good for a first attempt. Second one came out near perfect so was confident enough to do one of my best stocks and really happy with the results. Takes ages especially with the blunt gunline shit. (at least it got me started) Very satisfying ( therapeutic almost ) work. Keen as to do more but will wait till I get some better gear. Cheers.

I found an old muzzle loader percussion pistol with rust a plenty. It had no bluing at all. I have been thinking of bluing the barrel, maybe even the metal side plates.
