Weekend gun show pick ups

The No.5 looks worse for wear, the other may be a .22 trainer cannot tell under the rust but is that the BRNO logo, try stainless steel wool and WD-40 or RP-7 to remove surface rust I use it and it works well but it has to be stainless steel wool not ordinary stuff that will remove the bluing if you use that. You could post the results as it looks the perfect candidate for it other forumers have asked about the removal of surface rust and believe me I have used it on my rifles and it works.

That No 5 looks like a Kyber Pass job, I don't think there is a genuine part on it, i would be very careful letting one go out of that.

I was thinking the same thing, nothing looks right on it.
For rust like that I use the back side of a rounded knife blade and scrape/crush the rust. Breaks it right up, doesn't mar the finish and is fairly quick. Did an action and barrel last weekend that was similar to yours and it took two hours. I've steel wooled things to death and never gotten all the rust off. Steel wool is best for very light fine rust. I don't like using chemicals when I don't have to.

Photo 2 looks like it has been butchered and welded to take a 7.62mm charger clip. M Sharrif....... There's a name I seem to recall...... Maybe it belonged to the previous President of Pakistan.

I looked at a Khyber Pass No5 around 10 years ago... it was Savage, BSA, Maltby and Fazakerly manufacture marked.
The rear sight axis was below the height of the charger bridge...
I seriously considered buying it as a curio...

It is amazing what they can produce with a drill press and files, literally on a rock work surface. It really is true craftsmanship all be it on a primitive level. Still wouldn't hurt my feelings to turn the place into a glass parking lot.
