Well guys getting bit closer to first brew up...few lil leaks in the tank all patched up...was wondering if anyone could tell me roughly how long it would take to clean a somewhat rusty rifle? Around 12 hours maybe?

Thats quite an interesting and proffessional looking contraption you've managed to make

Sure looks like it will do the trick, I can't wait to see the results

Thanks

Danny

Depends on many variables old son. Keep checking on it until it looks right whem you give it a tap and a scrub. Remember, it's always best to underdo it than over cook it!!

Hey guys...have had a few problems with lack of amperage but have 3 battery chargers on the job now...1 x 2.5 amp,1 x 2 amp and just bought a 10 amp today..bubbling away nicely now just have to give some stubborn rust a helping hand to fall off.. i think just the 10 amp by itself would be okay but there is alot of water in there so might keep all three hooked up. Can see the bolt now and starting to look as though i could move it sometime soon...should be pulling this rifle out this afternoon so more pics then....

Looking sweet as mate, cant wait to see how they come out!

Hi mate, If you have a scrap Mk1 muzzle brake I'd like to purchase one off you, as long as its good enough to replicate as I need one for my Boys rifle, it has the later Mk2 type.

ATB, Chris.

Thanks guys...as for a spare Mk1 brake there is one but the entire cone has rotted away..ill put it through the bath as well and see if its any use to you once its clean..actually the brake on one of the rifles im keeping will probably be good enough to pull some dimensions from if thats any help?
