I'm going to help a friend work on used .22 Henry she was given by her sister. It looks to me like the gun was exposed to salt water because it has some pretty significant corrosion on the receiver and some of the other aluminum parts. The blued barrel is in surprisingly good shape and I think will clean up pretty well using normal rust removal techniques. She was told to use Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black on the receiver and other aluminum parts by Henry. I have never used Aluminum Black and wonder if anyone has any pointers for the white corrosion removal, surface prep and then application. I thought I'd break my normal pattern and try to figure out how to do it right the first time instead of screwing it up first and then figuring it out. I don't have any pictures yet but if anyone thinks it will help I'll post them when I get a chance to take some.
Thanks,
This is my first time using the forum since the software updates so please let me know if I screwed something up.
