Alright Jow Forums wtf do i do? I keep brushing the rust out with 3 in one but eventually the rust comes back...

How is it stored? Soft case? I have some rifles with pretty widespread pitting, but I've never had issues with rust returning.
No. That's an awful idea.

Is it fixable? Or am i fucked and just sell it?

Is it oiled?
I live in a desert but I still oil every uncoated metal surface and never experience rust.
DON'T FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FILE THAT DOWN.
Just sand or brush out the rust and give it a retarded about of oil or paint to seal the putting.
And btw bud that looks pretty damn deep from my end.
Might wanna get that checked out by a few smiths to make sure its okay.
(I say a few smiths bc second opinions are good)

Amount*

Hey, you're like 1/4 the way to an obrez. Keep it up.

*pitting
Fuck my life

You can't add metal, where is it on the barrel? If it's near the chamber talk to a smith. Ifit's near the end of the barrel don't worry. Get a blueing pen

>The pitting is not deep.

The rifle came like this fyi everyone here. I always oil all my guns every time. And i tjink if i sand it it'll go awsy. I am worried if i shoot it the rifle could rupture.

Donr file it you fucking retard. Weld it in and then level it. I've never owned a pitted barrel and even I know what to do

it's hard to stop pitting once it starts because the geometries are all fucked up and not conducive to application of rust inhibitors.

Good thread.

Unironically, Obrez time.

Rust also likes tight spaces, like in the pits.

Welding it could damage its heat treat if it has one, that's iffy imo

> pitting isn't deep
> filing it
> bought it this way

Oh, good.

That's a nice pipe bomb you got there OP.

Can you stick your dick in the hole for scale?

Another. And i didnt find out till weeks later afrer when i bought it.

take it to a gunsmith before you make it worse or fuck something up and have it explode in your face.

>weld it
Jesus fucking Christ....

That's not explosive bad, but I've already told you what to do. Blue pin, then oil, then change your storage ways.

Does it still look that deep?

i mean he's not wrong but good luck getting a surface finish that doesn't look like complete shit. you'd have to take the entire barrel off and turn it on a lathe.

you could treat the rust with muratic acid then led the pitting. Muratic acid removes rust 100% and avaiable at hardware stores it is used for cleaning bricks and masonry and stinks to high hell. then warm the barrel and pour molten lead into the pitting and sand smooth... Drawbacks will fuck your finish lead will never take a finish so will be a spot. chemicals and lead are both dangerous to work with. but it would cure the problem 100%

Gun smith.
You can try what user said with blueing pens but that might not work depending on the rust pattern.
Again, bite the bullet and pay a gunsmith for an opinion. He might be nice and not even charge you.

Ok, what if i sad it, blue it, then oil it? Sound ok?

oh and the uneven heat stress of welding/cooling would probably fuck up and bend the barrel slightly.

vinegar also removes rust, just less aggressively.

Yes, you need to clean the area you're going to blue with a degreaser then alcohol so you're not bluing the oil or dirt on top of the steel.

Maybe but if the pits are super deep you wont be able to properly clean it out without removing a ton of material.
The longer you take to do it the higher chance of rust spreading to new areas of uncoated metal.
I'd use a wire brush and oil at the same time but you'll destroy whatever coating it has most likely.
Gunsmith for an opinion, I am telling you.

That pitting is deeper than your asshole fucktard

I'm convinced that there's really only one guy who keeps making threads like these on Jow Forums. Tommy Thyroid, Hunter 3-1 Actual, occasionally doesn't pick a name. It's all the same person. They're so similar stylistically. It's always brilliantly done, though, 8/10 at worst. I know I'm ruining the joke by calling it out.

I hope you're right

It would be a tiny bit of weld. Don't over think it.

if this is a troll thread it's pretty amusing and enjoyable.

I tjink ill just sell it. Fuck it. And its a ishv hex receiver.

Do yourself a favor and sell all your guns you fucking retard

It's not the scale of it its the heat, and said head traveling up and down the barrel ruining the heat treat.
I'm going to assume you know nothing about heat treating metals.

I would be very surprised to not be right.

They're always really good. It's always something completely ridiculous and stupid like this, or asking Jow Forums for advice on making a beat to shit snapped in half knife look new so he can sell it "new in box" and insisting that it really is new because he barely used it anyway or something. It's the perfect mix of obtuse, stupid, and morally bankrupt to draw consistent responses. These threads don't happen all that often now, but they used to be pretty regular and it was amazingly entertaining.

Also do the world a favor and clean out your skull with a 54r

Bondo. James Bondo.

file off what you can without making a noticeable divot in the barrel maybe a few thousandths.
Brownells sells Devcon Epoxy Steel which most gun smiths use to fill pits.

Just cut the barrel below the pitting.
Problem solved.

This. Or if you're close to Wisconsin I'll fill it with weld for you and not fuck up your heat treat. Then I'll send a refinish so you can't tell it was ever there.

You just want to touch his dick, don't lie.

>Mosin
Spackle that shit and krylon over. Throw it on armslist and try again.

It's terrible.

This. Look at a lot of arsenal refurbed nuggets with pitting much worst than that.

Phosphoric is better, sand lightly, don’t use a file. Keep oiled user.

how can you fill with weld without destroying treat?

Throw it away, buy another. Mosins are the trash pigeons of firearms anyway

Maybe he meant JB weld?

Not him, but I imagine a TIG welder.

jb weld is Pison I tells ya PISON

you understand you're dealing with thousands of pounds of pressure moving around inside a structurally compromised metal tube right?

the pitting is DEEP
you bought an unsafe wallhanger of a rifle that will require it's cost in gunsmithing to make safe

Sorry bro the metals gone sour, you'll have to carve out where all the pits are and maybe it'll be salvageable.

I wouldn't continue shooting that.

somebody must have died on top of that.
