Rusty Lighting

[Guest little_lloyd]

Hi lads,!!

 

I took my gun out the other day to zero it in so i can start to use it more often now.

 

And i got home and left in in my bedroom window over night and the condensation has made the gun really rather rusty and grimey,, Anyway i cleaned it up with some WD4O what i always have used but the rust is not clearing much

 

Can anyone suggest a Rust cleaner that will help me get my bsa lighting back in top condition.

 

Thanks Lloyd.

Lloydy............just keep wiping it over with a lightly oiled rag for a few days........it'll soon clear up mate.

0000 grade wirewool and oil that will do it

[Coney 3]

As donnyc suggests 0000 fine wire wool to rub dowm the affected areas then a good wipe down with a good quality gun cloth, I use a "Abbey Universal Sportsmans Cloth" I find using this after a shooting session and just before I put my rifle away prevents rusting and corrosion and also repels moisture and dirt. Abbey also do a "Blu-gel" to repair rifles that have Blued Barrels etc and a Abbey Silicone Gun Oil 35 thats more or less universal, find them on www.abbeysupply.com

 

Hope this helps

Not preaching at you mate but there's no surprise that if you leave a piece of damp iron lying around, it goes rusty.

Use something like a dishcloth type of rag soaked in engine oil & polish it hard with that.

Don't leave your kit wet / dirty, wipe over the metal parts with the oily rag, then you're good to go for the next time

Sorry to hear about your gun, do NOT use a rust remover as it will also remove your blueing which i assume you dont want!

 

Oily rag and elbow grease is the best way i think. Good luck!

Very fine wire wool & WD40 or 3-in-1 oil, & polish the area.

[targa 5]

Graphite oil and polish with wool. Works nice

try hammerite rust remover but make sure u try it on a small area first to make sure it dosnt harm the metal

3 in 1 oil will do the trick lloyd, as soon as i get home i also wipe the gun down no matter what the weather :thunmbs:

Another idea is to wipe it down before you go out. I use Napier VP90 on a cloth & never had a problem on the suspect AA blueing.

i always clean my guns after ive prep my kills for dinner .dry it off then

gun oil apply with soft cloth .that way if you do get caught in a shower it just runs of ..

when i buy new gun i always strip stock of oil under neath stop it rusting where you cant see.....

sounds like minor prob [bANNED TEXT] if you left it in a loft or damp garage for years it would be bad but if it was over night just rubb hard with gun oil .
