Hi,
I am new,just joined actually and require some help.
I have a bolt from a Sako in .222 that went missing when we relocated in about 85.We found it a long time later but had come apart from the oiled rage so it rusted .I soaked it in Molasses for awhile then slowly rubbed and polished to remove the rust.This also included soaking in ATF and Acetone.Have removed the rust but there are two problems.
Firstly there is some pitting along the bolt and secondly there is some black discolouration.I am more concerned re the pitting.The black may come off with polishing.
Have any of you got any advice re the pitting.It is not deep just ugly
Do hope for some help and very much appreciated
Regards
Ray
