So, I pulled my SKS out of my safe and out of its sock because I was gonna list it for sale here BUT...
I had liberately oiled it inside and out before I put it away and all the blueing turnd brown and in some spots rusty. It had been touched up with coldblue a while ago so i am wondering if that was part of the problem. I've been working on it with a brush, rag and barricade and the rust comes off easily, however...so does the blueing if you can still call it that.
Is there a better kitchentable gunsmith approach to just stripping the whole thing bare and redoing it? Other than the birchwood casey blue?
