The first pass scores tracks as any imperfections of the bore allows. Then for the rest of the barrels short life, the bristles keep following that same path, wearing the score marks deeper until they become gouges, then trenches.

He also showed a few cases of using abrasives with a patch on a regular basis to remove "hard carbon" or just "polish the barrel". Apparently this causes rounded off lands and enlarges the bore. The more aggressive the abrasive, the faster the damage.]]> janfred https://allgunstuff.co.za/hunting-rifles/geroeste-loop-hoe-nou/paged/2/#post-7843 Re: Geroeste loop - hoe nou? https://allgunstuff.co.za/hunting-rifles/geroeste-loop-hoe-nou/paged/2/#post-7842 Wed, 06 May 2026 23:51:29 +0000

The Backyard Ballistics rust remover is an affordable, effective DIY chelating solution popular for cleaning rusted metal. It acts as a chelator, removing rust without eating away the underlying metal. The formula, often shared through the "Beyond Ballistics" YouTube channel, is a mixture of water, citric acid, sodium carbonate (or baking soda), and a small amount of dish soap.


Key Components & Recipe (for 1 Liter)
1 Liter Water: Distilled is best to prevent impurities.
100g Citric Acid: Available in powder form online or at many stores.
40g Sodium Carbonate (or 63g Baking Soda): This helps neutralize the acid to a pH of about 4, preventing damage to the underlying metal.
Dish Soap: A small squirt added as a surfactant.

Usage Instructions
Dissolve: Mix the 100g of citric acid into the water until fully dissolved.
Neutralize: Add the 40g of sodium carbonate (washing soda) slowly. The solution will bubble, releasing carbon dioxide.
Surfactant: Add a small amount of dish soap.
Soak: Submerge the rusty item in the solution. For heavy rust, let it soak for a day or longer.
Clean: Remove, scrub if necessary, and rinse thoroughly.
Why It Works
The solution works by chelating iron, creating a solution that targets iron oxide (rust) but leaves the base metal intact, unlike strong acid cleaners. It is reported to be as effective as commercial products like Evapo-Rust for a fraction of the cost]]> oafpatroll https://allgunstuff.co.za/hunting-rifles/geroeste-loop-hoe-nou/paged/2/#post-7842 Re: Geroeste loop - hoe nou? https://allgunstuff.co.za/hunting-rifles/geroeste-loop-hoe-nou/paged/2/#post-7841 Wed, 06 May 2026 23:22:39 +0000
Yes 1000 steel wool is brilliant for stocks. Stock oil and s/wool rubbing gives a deep lustre.

BUT ! - the kinda rust I am referring to is not afraid of 1000 steel wool. I think we all talking different degrees here. My method is for built up rust, flake, scarring rust, not surface powder coat rust.


We are. If I had to take that sort of rust out of a barrel I would have gone through chemical, electrolysis and bronze brush efforts a moer of a lot before I got to steel wool if I ever did and would give up long before I got to something daft like valve grinding paste. Having done a bit of valve grinding in my time I have an appreciation of what it does to hardened valve seats under hand pressure and it has absolutely no place inside a barrel. ]]> oafpatroll https://allgunstuff.co.za/hunting-rifles/geroeste-loop-hoe-nou/paged/2/#post-7841
