I recently located a 75rd. Chinese magazine and it is a bit rusty from the way it was stored which was somewhere in a box on the ground in a garage.

It has gotten quite a bit of rust on it and I was looking for some information on how to properly remove the rust and get it protected before it rusts anymore.


Anyone got any pointers?

I was thinking of getting a brass toothbrush and scrub it down then simply oil it real good, any problems with that?

Thanks


edited to ask; btw, what does the "396" signify on the mag, that is the only marking I can see on it.

edited again because my Chin is not Chinese

The best way to keep rust off your chin is to keep a barrel out of your mouth.

I used a little CLR on some rust spots before I refinished one of my drums with GunCoat. A little scrubbung with a brush too. Beware though, CLR or any delimer/descaler will remove Anodization as well. If you do refinish it, don't get crazy on the inside, just one or two light coats or it will bind up on you.

Try a copper brush and some Kerosene.

Works great on Rusted guns too.
