    Croppy, you could try rubbing a solution of baking soda into the metal parts. This is what they do to barrels that have been browned to stop the rusting in its tracks when the desired colour has been reached.

    The guns on IMA certainly look interesting! There's a video too on one of the pages showing a before and after cleaned up 3 band Enfield! Very tempting indeed!

    I know, I've been eyeing the yokes for a while now, still have some applications in with the gardai though.
    When everything goes through I'll probably go for one, will see if anyone else wants one as the shipping would be nearly half the cost of the gun. Cheap enfields to be had if you imported a few at once. Will always be wall hangars though.

    If I remember correcly, vinegar and bleach do an excellent job getting the rust going in the first place. You need to do it outdoors though as there's a lot of chlorine gas from the reaction.

    It's getting confusing having 2 croppy boys, I think I may have pm'd the wrong one at some point.
