Rust Problems!

[Boomer1961]

Hehe. Anyway, does this mean i should re parkerize my gun?

I think you need to re parkerize ALL YOUR GUNS IMMEDIATELY!

Once rust gets started in the household there is no stopping it.

Also I would re parkerize the bed, the car, the wife, and the kids, else they get rusty too!

In the words of Sid Vicious "Rust never sleeps".

I bought this stuff at the last Cowpie gun show that promises to not remove blue while removing rust.

Only 4 bucks including shipping. It feels like really thick mylar



I tried it on an old bayonet and it worked!!!!!

Rather than oil under the grips may I suggest some good gun grease? It will stick around longer.

+1 on that.... I love the messy stuff & its a LOT less prone to melt away as easily as oil if the gun starts to heat.

It doesn't remove bluing but my gun is parkerized. Would it take that off?

Again, contact springfield to have it covered under warranty.

After calling Springfield Armory and realizing there will be a charge, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I ordered the metal cleaner from http://www.big45metalcleaner.com/. I tried it very lightly and realized it might be a bit too abbrasive. I finally decided to go to the hardware store and pick up some steel wool. I picked up 0000, which was the finest I could find. At under 5 dollars, for a pack of god knows how many(it was alot), it was a steal. I went home and applied some WD40 and began to gently rub the rusted areas, with the steal wool. Guess what? IT WORKED! I am so happy! I solved the problem, by only spending 5 bucks. I recommend using steel wool 0000, with some WD40, to remove minor rusting, for anyone who has a parkerized firearm. Im not sure how well it works on other surfaces, but it didn't do anything to my parkerization.

Seriously, get some grease on her & get in the habit of checking her more regularly now.
