This makes my two AHE 28 gauge vent rib guns worth that much more. Send the 2 to me and I will try to make all three look the same. I would shoot the Model 21 as is and try to hunt the rust away.

I have no idea how to access that forum. I assume facebook is involved somehow. Help.

I have had that happen. Jug of water For the dog leaked onto canvas cases, I did not realize what had happened and I was too lazy to unload when I got home. By the time I went to unload the guns looked just like that.

Wish I could unsee that.

I'm a "project" kind of guy and I will get the grandkids together to sand it down, the Parker that is. The 21 is going into a vat of some kind of rust remover.

I've always been conscious of storing guns under a bed or on the floor anywhere. I was an insurance adjuster back in the 90s. Plumbing leaks happen every day.

I know a guy who had a nice Winchester commemorative collection. The rifles were displayed on basement wall, nicely constructed with fancy trim and sliding glass doors.
The kitchen sink was directly above it, the P trap broke. At least a week went but with sink water drizzling over them. Ouch.

Does anyone remember the Fox HE 32” that sokd on GunsAmerica two years ago?

It looked worse than these two guns.... the rust was removed and the frame had about 98% case color and the barrel blue only needed to be touched up in a couple places.

It had been stored on a shelf in a damp cellar in Swampscott, MA within 1/8 mile from the ocean for more than 40 years.
