Got RUST? It's easy to remove, here's how.

I had zero luck with naval jelly. Poured it into my carcano bore and it appeared to accomplish nothing, even after leaving in for half a day.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I think you'd have to do some scrubbing.

**WarPig1976** · 07-29-2014 04:45 AM

Can't explain that one.

**Aragorn243** · 07-29-2014 05:53 PM

I did scrub it. I plugged the barrel, poured it in, ran a brush up and down to make sure it was filling without air pockets, left it sit for a couple of hours and brushed it out. Didn't seem to do much so I did it again and left it in there for half the day. No improvement and the color of the jelly never changed. Maybe it's the brand: Loctite Naval Jelly. It did not instantly remove bluing either. In fact it didn't do much to that either in the time I was running the brush. I was very disappointed.

Maybe find another brand of naval jelly...?

Was that Carcano made by FIAT?????

**Aragorn243** · 08-01-2014 09:07 AM

LOL

No. I suspect it's the brand. I put some on a bayonet to clean up the blade and it didn't do much to it either. Paid $9 for this stuff so I'm not real happy.

It's Loctite Naval Jelly Rust Dissolver. Only ingredient I can find is phosphoric acid. Says to not use it on chrome, aluminum, stainless steel or painted surfaces. What will it do to chrome? Remove it? I have some chrome I'd like to get rid of. But since it doesn't dissolve rust, I doubt it will do that either.

It would dull the finish of chrome. Make it a flat silver.

**WarPig1976** · 08-01-2014 09:51 AM

I know it works on a 870 barrel with a matte finish. Maybe not so good on polished steel? I feel a highly non scientific study coming on for this rainy weekend. Where's my lab coat!!!...results to follow....

**WarPig1976** · 08-01-2014 06:28 PM

Ok, this is the handle from my Rockchucker it has a nice blue job over polished steel.
The Naval jelly was used on the top half, Birchwood Casey on the bottom the tape separates the two.
The metal was degreased with Acetone and the jelly applied first.... Ah, screw it!! It worked just fine. Can't explain why it didn't work for you Aragorn.
