I've posted this elsewhere, but no help was offered so I thought I would try here. Afterall, some older muzzleloaders have rust issues as well.
I have a 1895 Chilean Mauser that has moderate pitting below the woodline. Here's what it looked like before;
I've scrubbed it really well with a brass brush and WD-40 - it actually cleaned up pretty well. Afterwards I sprayed it with both CLP and Birchwood Casey's Barricade and just let it set. I figured that I would spray it again and wipe it down really well while closely inspecting for rust residue.
Am I missing anything or is there anything that you would recommend I do to hopefully end this issue?
The stock is another issue altogether, but I've got a good grasp on it.
Thanks, Tom
