Got with the Mosin. Old European Milsurp made into a shotgun?

70 caliber maybe? Described to me as a Zulu shotgun. Barrel is still rifled.

What a steaming pile of dog crap. What did it start life out as?

Looks like you could get it fairly clean. I'd say put together an electrolysis tank and clean it.

1 tablespoon baking soda per gallon of water

Battery charger with negative connected to the metal

Positive connected to sacrificial metal like a rebar.

Go to surplusrifleforum.com and look for the thread on electrolysis tank.
 
I know some guys on another forum that pick up stuff like that that look like they were buried with the trash in 1839 then they bring them back to life somehow. A very cool project.

Glad someone likes it. I don't know what I was thinking, picking this one up.

+1 to this. It would be a very good start to restoring her.

People that dig up artifacts in northern Europe WW2 battlefields do this method on site. And it does wonders for the artifacts that have been living in the Taiga for 70 years...
