I was going to use a product from Home Depot to clean the rust off an old project. It was $25 a gallon, so I opted for a 2 liters of pepsi for $1.25. Pretty decent results after a couple of days. It could probably use 2 more days of soaking. Anyone else ever use this cheap sourse of phosphoric...

About a year ago I attached to a sidewall inside my safe an 3x6 inch magnetic "pad". I used it to hold some magazines. I have a dehumidifier in my basement but nothing inside the safe itself. Yesterday, when I removed the magazines I noticed slight rust on both the magazine and "pad". Today I...

I recently inherited a Marlin 336 30-30 from 1968. It has some surface rust on the receiver and also a bit in chamber and a good size ring of it about halfway down the bore. I don't want to harm the rifling b/c its still very sharp, rifle almost looks un-fired for being so old, So how do I...

Is it just me or does anyone else here curl up into a little ball and cringe every time someone mentions "just a little surface rust" when describing a firearm for sale or description of a firearm they own? If any, I repeat any of my firearms had even a microscopic speckle of rust on them, only...
