Author Topic: Rust spot stains on .50 Stainless Steel muzzleloader (Read 800 times)

I have a .50 caliber in Stainless Steel. Went deer hunting in the mountains for a week. It got foggy and damp a little drizzle, that kind of thing. I would wipe the gun down on the outside every night. I did not, however, take it completely apart and wipe everything down. When I got home and took it apart, I had a lot of little surface rust spots on the Stainless Steel on both the base under the chamber frame area and the framearea above the trigger assembley area. I brass brushed the rust off with Blue Wonder. However, there are dark greyish "stains" left behind on my "stainless steel" were the rust spots used to be. How do I get the stains off. I don't want to steel wool it to the point where I have a shiny spot. Any help would be appreciated.

The best solution (I don't know your brand of ML) is to have it teflon coated-- www.blackicecoatings.com .

Terrific product, applied by someone who knows how.

Agdexter get something called quick clean it is a cloth made by hoppe's 9 it is a rust and lead remover. Great product you will get many uses out of the cloth.

Or you could have it bead blasted to a satin finish.
But the problem would only return. I would also recomend the Teflon coating as Randy did.

Stay Safe,

I had some stains on my stainless Rugar Old Army and I took some Isso bore cleaner ( it is a paste) and it polished them right out. It might work for you.
