The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I came across this by accident and thought I would share. This is what happens overnight when you don't clean your piece after firing corrosive ammo. ;)

I’m not believing the before and after photos. We need to be on the look-out for the most rusted up candidate we can find, and give it a try. Not sure what would be required for the bead blasting, but I bet you would. I’m going to find the video of the Canadian company that shows their 1911 restoration and I’ll post the link. That video shows how they deal with pitting by welding and filing.

This video is long, but very interesting. Their work appears to be very good from video.

Thats a good save, turning a hunk of rust into a $1000 pistol.
