Wanna see something shameful

[Anchorite]

Of the two enemies of firearms, rust and politicians, rust looks to be the culprit here, but not fatal.

But I have faith it is salvageable!

What’s the point of your guns going missing in a boating accident and some goober with a magnet goes fishing? That didn’t come out of Boggy Creek by any chance?

That movie made me look at the woods I loved different for a time when I was 13 lol.

Kroil -- keep it wet (wrap in newspaper in a plastic bag) for a week or so -- it will buff out.

That would be an Awesome project for you. Take your time. First thing I’d do is remove the cylinder and carefully remove the live rounds. Then disassemble it and soak and the metal parts in whatever solution you choose. Have fun. I look forward to seeing your results

Soak it in motor oil after you take the grips off???

I have used brake cleaner on badly rusted pieces of machinery.

Hi @Belt Fed,

We're all rooting for you! It may need a new spring or two hut I've got confidence you can get it cleaned up and functional again.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

A good friend of ours was a Search & Rescue Coordinator for the county in northern AZ. She carried a 2" snub nose into some pretty rugged areas for protection. Five shot with no reloads. She brought the revolver to me to inspect. The revolver was covered in rust from years of neglect. Took me two hours to get the cylinder to rotate and eject. It was worthless for anything she intended it for.

It’s a shame that some people neglect performing maintenance on their firearms. If you don’t and it doesn’t work when you need it then you’re going to spend the rest of your life trying to save your life.

WD40 or Kroil.

Add MMO , K-1 , and Diesel . With proper precautions for flamability and toxic , of course .

 

[Biggfoot44]

Put it back where you got it, and walk away.

It’s not toast. You can fix it.

All depends on your perspective , expectations, and what you discover underneath the visable rust inside the bore and chambers .
