| I just got a 7.62 Enfield. The wood is in good shape, but all the metal is covered in black paint. What is the best method for getting the old paint off? I thought mabye some paint stripper might work. |

There's several types of black paint. Some of it comes off easily. Some is much harder to remove. Paint stripper sounds like a plan to me. Dennis Jenkins

I disassembled my Ishy Enfield and sprayed the barrel assembly down with Gunscrubber. It had the black paint bubbling up in no time. A little elbow grease and I had most of it off. On the paint that didn't come off right away the Gunscrubber has made the paint gooey, so I brushed on some Hoppes #9, let it sit and scrubbed it off with a brass brush. I sprayed it with carb cleaner and that is getting the last bit of stubborn paint and mung off of the receiver and barrel. Tomorrow the stock gets the Cosmoline cooker.
