Weekend gun show pick ups

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.

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...
