[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2866518, member: 13284"] Thanks guys...it's just extremely slow going with the cleaning process. It's a decently sought after rifle and I don't want to do anything to hurt the value any more than it already has been. I have the barreled receiver basically finished as well. Thankfully there was no pitting, just some minor discoloration to the blued finish in the areas that the rust was present. I just need to plug the barrel and let it soak in Hoppes for a little while. There's no rust in the bore so hopefully it will be a little easier cleaning from here on out. I have the rest of the rifle disassembled and soaking in oil...not much rust on those parts either so she should look respectable again soon. I just hope that I'm able to find the needed parts tomorrow in Tulsa. Not sure what I'm going to do with the rifle yet. Although I like the K98k's, Mauser's typically aren't typically my cup of tea so it may end up getting sold or traded for a U.S. service rifle at some point in the future. [/QUOTE]
