Point and laugh, you're going to be just fine around here. I gotta try that peanut butter trick!
Peanut butter... who'da thunk it?
That's cool on the Arisaka sights and I bet we can figure something out on them. I know that most of this stuff is K98 parts, but there were a few things that I just had no clue on and those winged sights were one of them.
It was at a match.
OK... I have a couple of parts all slathered up in Jif (because it's what choosy moms choose, that and I didn't think the Peter Pan extra crunchy would work as well). We'll see how they look come sunrise.
wow... I should have done before and after photos. 'point and laugh', the PB thing really did get the majority of the rust gone... I just don't know where it went lol? How exactly does that work?
I cleaned off the peanut butter from the couple of parts that I did and have them sitting in an oil bath right now. I figure I'll take a nylon bristle brush to them while still submurged a little later and see how they look after that.

Seriously great shooting man. I'm assuming you won the match with those results. One of these days when I get around to owning another bolt action milsurp, I'll have to come over for it. I'm down to just a Garand these days and it's glassed to boot so I don't get to use it much for anything military competition related.
And, best yet. When you get through, you can eat it.

I discovered the trick entirely by accident while eating a PB sandwich and working on an old barrel, some PB spilled on it and the magic was discovered. I don't know how it works. It also repairs/hides? minor pitting on old worn blueing.
I wipe the PB off then rinse it with Hoppe's #9 solvent. Then oil. It works well on old dark bores too, spray the bore with windex, slather in the PB with a little mop, finish your sandwich and clean it out. Perhaps there is a chemist among us that can explain how it works.
I would hazard a guess it involves the oil. All I know is, since my wife thinks peanut butter makes me fat, we don't have any in our house. Finally, I have an argument which she can't refute with rationality. I'm goin' to the store.
Question,
Which one of these old rifles is the most accurate out of the box. I know most of these rifles accuracy can be improved with careful reloading. Can you buy a rifle or type of rifle that will shoot let's say 1 moa with factory or surplus ammo? Which one has the best iron sights?
