Enfield P14------really bad rust..

[NorthCoastBigBore]

Hey guys, I saw this thread a few days ago but forgot to chime in on it.

Smellie speaks the truth, I actually tought him something instead of him teaching me all of the time.

I...

Anyhow, it really works and the best part is all you have to do is turn on your charger and walk away!

That was you who tipped me off to this, couldn't remember where I'd got that from until Smellie's post.

I've read up and used this method now on several items, including an antique Marlin bore; truly an amazing process (I have a lot of rusty stuff around here...).

Thanks Tinman

This actually works with feed molasses, ive used it for big metal items like axe heads that i've found metal detecting, takes a couple weeks of soaking but they come out white...something to do with the fermentation process does the work. and it does smell like the devil

I use it for car parts. Works brilliantly.

Nice work you've done there, Tinman..

OP;
Your P-14 looks like a BSA "B" conversion, sold by Parker-Hale. In the worse case, you will have to swap the barrel, and a lot of these rifles were rechambered / rebarreled to Magnum as the bolt face is already open large enough. I've seen these rebarreled to almost every Magnum caliber, including .378 Weatherby.
These are pretty rugged hunting rifles. Downside is the modified military stock, which is also easily swapped to a more modern one.

Those are amazing results, I'll definitely try it in the future.

I would be all over trying the electrolysis to be honest. Another great product is the Big 45 Frontier Metal Cleaner. Looks like a steel scrubbie pad but is made of something softer. I grabbed a couple and they work amazing. Takes off rust without touching the bluing. I've used it on 4 or 5 guns so far and it's been fantastic. I had heard about it on rimfire central and gave it a go. For the cost it's well worth it but the electrolysis would be my choice on something really bad.

Good to know, just don't ever use those scotch brite pads, they will remove the bluing faster than you can blink, unless you want to remove it.
