Hey all,
My father was a ball turret gunner on a B-17 out of the UK in WWII. He brought back a few relics and I've been packing this around for a number of years. With all this awesome "Covid-19" vacation time was thinking about some projects. What do you folks think about restoring/cleaning up this AN-M8 flare gun? Or do you think the patina (rust) on it gives it character and should be left alone? And if restoring/cleaning up, any suggestions on a good rust remover?
