Cleaning up a rusty M82 scope and mount

[Harlock]

Thanks for the input! I'll hopefully try rubbing some of the smaller rust spots down with some hoppes tomorrow, and thats a good heads up about the glass. I actually was trying to remove the scope from the mount today and discovered 2 of the 4 screws are badly stripped.

I was talking with the folks at columbus machine works who repaired an op rod for one of my garands and they said they could probably handle restoring the worst of it without too much handling. I'm going to send them more pictures since I don't want to get a screw stuck in the mount...
