    Redneck oil blackening

    But it worked
    The magazine in my Long Branch frankly looked like crap so I decided to see If I could fix it.
    I cleaned the magazine with a fine wire brush in my Dremel tool then cleaned it with acetone. I put my gas grill as high as it would go plopped on the magazine and let it bake. I then put it carefully into a coffee can full of used motor oil until it stopped boiling. After removing it from the oil I cleaned it with brake cleaner then oiled it up in good shape with Breakfree. Probably not the recommended method but it was what I had on hand and it came out quite nice particularly when compared to what I started with.
