Hello all-

I just received a 15 round mag with bullets that was sitting in an attic for at least 20 years. As you can see there is not much rust on the mags but I dont want to ruin the bluing by scrubbing too much. Does anyone have a preferred way of removing rust from a magazine.

Also the bullets are tarnished. Can I still clean and use them? If so how do I clean them?

And lastly, does anyone know the manufacturer of these mags and if they are original USGI. As I understand it, original hardbacks were blued and the IU on the mag is from Underwood. Is this correct?

cheers!!
