Clean up that rusted mess!

Hello everyone,
I am new to this site myself! been on a couple of days. it is great. I have seen a lot of help on a lot of items!
I thought I could contribute a secret that my dad taught me!
when you run across a old rusted up firearm. I mean frozen.... ugly, brown and looks like it needs to be thrown away rather than saved.
Coke is king! I have taken salt watered wrecks, pawn shop gems and turned them into fine shooting pieces.
put those old parts in coke for a day or so...... not too long!
It just flat eats the rust right off the metal.
works wonders!

Wow! That is one excellent tip! Thank you so very much.

hi KPL,
thanks, i've got a browning barrel i'll try it on this wkend. welcome aboard.

Let me know how it turns out for you. i have had some great success with this. make sure when you pull it out that you clean and oil it right away.
I have done this with a old airweight and it has turned into a fine plinker!
I also have done this to a Remington 700 and it is my favorite hunting rifle. I use it all the time!
