I'm down to four metal parts that continue to need rust attention - the receiver, the fore end iron and the forend lock and spring. Once the totality of the rust is gone; except for the receiver, these last few parts will be severely pitted. Somehow, the receiver held up not too badly, given the amount of rust involved. The other three parts will be functional but ugly. I may try some expoxy/steel product to fill and obtain a smooth surface that could see a product like Dura Coat used versus bluing. Anybody used that product?
All suggestions are welcomed to deal with cosmetic cover up of deep surface pits.
Next step is photos again, as I do have most of the individual parts cleaned up. Then wood. And I thought I was going to shoot pheasants with it last fall. Maybe this season it will see service again.
Cheers,
Jack
