Lessoned learned....Opportunity out of adversity. Nice save and honestly the pricing on these guns makes 'em great for tinkering on and you sure took that to heart!

Wow, thanks for bumping this, otherwise I'd never have known it existed.

Totally epic thread.

Water + Guns is always a bad thing. Christ wept. What a mess.

 

[Grouse Man]

All that rust is proof that there is at least some steel in Chinese rifles . . .

Does this qualify for "...or your #### will fall off."???

I think it already may have , after he saw what happened ..

Better call maco ...

From a wooden stock, yes. From a barrelled action, or other metal parts, no.

old thread.

Saw this rehashed today and it made me think of this other thread I was reading on vehicle restoration forums. An Electrolysis based rust removal machine.

That M1A might have made a great test case for such a contraption.

Electrolytic derusting is pretty neat... I highly recommend trying it. But they don't come out looking all shiny usually; I think that might be a post-wire-wheel picture. It's a great way to derust hardware for parkerizing though, since sandblasting a few hundred bolts is enough to drive me nuts!

Get it... bolts... nuts... BADOOM PSHH!

 

[Claven2]

Agreed. After electrolytic de-rusting, the part will come out covered in a black slime-like substance that will wipe off easily with steel wool or a fine wire wheel. It also will not damage the original surface any more than the rust already has, unlike sandpaper or blasting which does remove some virgin material.

 

[Infantry-Soldier]

Awesome!

 

[jjbkozack]

I can't help it . That is hilarious . Dose CGN have a buba of the month award

LMAO!! this definitly would wipe out the competitors in a bubba of the month award

on a side note with a lil rubbing you could totally fake a weathered rustic finish

 

[bear.23]

Awesome!

Can you get this in Black or OD? White doesn't work on my camo.

 

[sprint]

Ya.

In the original article he mentions clean up with the wire wheel.

Still. Impressive....
