Oxpho blue works great on the swiss rifles.I spent a couple hours yesterday sanding away the worst of the rust (trigger guard and trigger were the worst, followed by the buttplate). They are back to bare metal and just have a coat of oil on them for now. I thought I had a bottle of Cold Blue, but I was mistaken so I'll pick one up in the next few weeks. I assume the trigger guard and buttplate were originally blued? I can see from the trigger that was inside the stock that it was originally blued, but the other parts were so far gone I couldn't tell
I took the advice of Diopter above and ordered a 100m front site. I wished they had in stock a new bolt knob as mine is split right in half. I tried searching for a replacement, and couldn't find anything in Canada (Numrich had them). When I am finished with my trade school in 2 months and I'm back to work I think I might ask one of the machinists at work to make me a new bolt knob out of something like brass
