    I know most homes are not set up for it, but I am getting great results from the conservation treatment, boiling, soaking, and carding. I am done with sandpaper

    Done that quite a few times over the years with many different firearms. That rust is like a cancer. You got to get it all out. My findings have been that it's just the beginning of the end. You can try to nip it, cold blue and constantly oil, but you're only delaying what has to be done. Nice video.

      Thank you! many people don't understand that just getting the rust off and oil back on is the most important thing to stop the spread. Then if you have time and money have a complete polish and hot blue done if the gun is worth the extra cost. Thanks for watching.

      Yea. I only use this as a last resort for very pitted spots that I really don’t want to completely reblue the whole rifle. Or if a customer doesn’t want to pay for a complete rebluing of an otherwise good gun.

    Nice video. Very educational. Does cold blue hold up well or will it rub off eventually?

    • @Turnbullcustomguns
      @Turnbullcustomguns  2 дні тому

      It will wear off eventually with use but should last a year or two if applied correctly. Just recoat as necessary or bring it to a professional to have it Hot blued. The good thing is once the rust is removed, and the cold blue applied the damage will not get worse. Thanks for watching.

    FYI hoppes 9 oil is good but trans fluid will take more rust faster than anything I’ve used
    Something about the detergents in trans fluid are stronger

      I use dawn, comet and a little water mixed together as a paste and gets the rust and grease off. Also use totally awesome and it gets them clean.

    The alcohol that was used to clean the barrel after polishing, is it isopropyl alcohol?

    • @Turnbullcustomguns

    • @terryc522
      @terryc522 3 дні тому

      If you’re in Canada; denatured alcohol is called “methylated spirits”. I found that out after running around town and hitting every home improvement store, hardware and paint store and being looked at like an idiot.

    For light frosty rust, 0000 steel wool and gun oil but that chunky bit, I'd boil it in water and then card it and see if it comes out.
    If the barrel is pitted, I'd try to smooth it out as best as I can, then bead blast it and then parkerize it as it needs a rough surface to adhere to.

    • @withoutprejudice8301
      @withoutprejudice8301 2 місяці тому +3

      Also heating the metal prior to bluing increases its durability. Don't cook it, about 150°F is all that's needed. Propane torch and laser temp sensor helps a lot.

    Hey could you do a video on how the slug a barrel to see if it is shot out , before taking it to a gunsmith and wasting his time ?

  • @withoutprejudice8301
    @withoutprejudice8301 2 місяці тому +1

    Another thing one could do afterwards is degrease the entire barrel and give it a few coats of boiled linseed oil. Iron workers that build yard art have been protecting metal for decades with it.

    That 320 grit wheel looks like it's stitched.

    • @Turnbullcustomguns
      @Turnbullcustomguns  2 місяці тому +2

      Nope. I do however use heavy coats of compound that usually holds the top separations in the muslin together on the polishing surface. It's not as hard as a stitched because it has some flexibility under the compound since the 8" behind it is not bound together like in a stitched.

    Could the pits be tig welded after the rust has been removed? I have an 1886 Winchester barrel that has deep blood rust pits,

  • @_droid
    @_droid 4 місяці тому +1

    Of course you can just chelate the rust completely off by soaking it in a chelation solution. This way no base material is removed until you're ready for a full repair.

    • @Turnbullcustomguns
      @Turnbullcustomguns  4 місяці тому +4

      Yes that will remove the rust, and on some guns that may be all you want to do to stop it from progressing... but your barrel will still have the pits from the rust. In order to remove the blemish made from the rust all you will need to remove the base metal repolish and re-blue the metal. Thanks for your comment.

  • @rexmasters1541
    @rexmasters1541 4 місяці тому

    The spot will stand out in about 10 to 15 days and it will always stand out. You have to re-blue the entire barrel to have the bluing look good. I have seen these cheap techniques many times before. If you want it done right you have to find the guy that only does repairs the right way.
