I love rust

Uranus · 06-15-2008, 02:08 AM

I recently moved, and a box of what looked like just pods was left out in the weather by my mother. (A bunch of boxes ended up at my parents house while I organized my garage). I found the box yesterday, and thought wow nice I'm low on pods. Then I see 2 Radpies and a 68 special at the bottom of the box. The 68 is all rusted. All right!!! Another project!!!

I was admiring my nelspot as I was waiting through a game speech today and I couldn't help but think that "real guns rust."

Wait until you get/try to get the screws off. Then they strip.

Rusted on and stripped.

Jeeze guys, you just have to show your rust who's boss and you can look good without stripping.

Hey, the highly desireable brown finish on some of the more classic real firearms is just a carefully cultured rust finish that is then polished with oil and rags.

the simplest browning method is with copper sulfate. Overtime there were quite a few formulas. It is indeed a controlled oxidant layer. Waxing is an important finishing step

Oh believe me I showed mine. Three shattered heavy duty drill bits and a broken screw extractor later all of the rusted screws are removed from my gun.
