[QUOTE="robert6715, post: 1471744, member: 41629"] Greetings all, I found a Remington Nylon 66 at the dump. It was very rusty & the action was seized up. Upon disassembly with LOT'S of Kroil, I found the firing pin free & moving & was able to get all other parts moving. The rifle was found amongst a bunch of old Halibut fishing gear, & I suspect it was used as a Halibut shooter (lots of external exposure to salt water). The internals are not that bad considering how rusty the outside is. The rifling actually looks pretty nice after only 3 passes with a brass brush soaked in Kroil. My question's are as follows. #1 What to use to remove all the rust on the internal parts? I live very remote in Alaska & ordering liquid's is almost IMPOSSIBLE. I have Ospho, which is a rust converter (changes iron oxide to iron phosphate). #2 Will the rust converter change the outside dimensions? Obviously, if the conversion from iron oxide to iron phosphate adds to the overall size of a part, its a no go. #3 Am I wasting my time trying to resurrect a free firearm? I know it's only a 22LR #4 Should I just cut the receiver into 3 pieces to dispose of it properly & leave well enough alone. Thanks in advance Rob [/QUOTE]
