Progress shots in the making as the project progresses. I'll start a new thread for it so as not to clutter up the buy & sell sub forum.

You're right the rust is very minor if cosmetically funky & the pits small & shallow.
I think its probably from sweaty palms on the exposed metal when it was used in a hunting rifle. My other one has almost identical artifacts.

I stripped it down & there's no rust or corrosion at all inside & the follower & spring are fine! Even the "Magazine Spring, Auxiliary spring" & the mag body under it are fine. I went at it with my bronze brush attachment for the Dremel & then scrubbed it with my favorite (& unconventional) Green "ScotchBrite" which I've found is like a grade finer than the finest wet & dry.


You’re welcome - glad you are making it look better - I just lost interest - looking forward to the after pics
