A few weeks ago I ran into a guy that had gotten a DWI and was in need of money.
He had a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 357 Mag. that he wanted to sale. I offered $60 because It was ugly and he said yes.
It's a little rusty and missing the rear sight blade and has some ugly grips. Other the that the gun is in great shape.
Oh! I did give the guy a little advise when it comes to drinking and driving. " Beer taste better in a La-Z-Boy."
To remove rust without damaging any of the finish that is left is not hard when using an electrolysis.
The set up is very easy. You will need a plastic container, copper wire, backing soda, some scrap metal and an old charger with an output around 6 to 8 volts.
Add one teaspoon of baking soda for every galon of warter you put in your container.
Cut the end off the charger and attch the Pos. to the sctap metal. Attch the Neg. tp the parts you want to remove the rust from. Be sure that the scrap metal does not touch your good stuff.
Now plug in the charger and let it do it's work.
In an hour or two remove the rust will have been melted away.
Use boiling water to pour on the parts after you remove them from the container. This will clean off and dry your parts. Next scrub the parts with good gun oil and a nylon brush. Wipe everything clean and put it back together.
Well here it is all cleaned up. Can you guess how I did it?
I had the grips in my parts box. They came off my first New Model Blackhawk that was stolen back in 1991.
