MikeL417 33 Posted March 2, 2012 Was going through all my mags and noticed some rust on my metal ak mags. Any tips about how to attack this? I have a plan but I wanna know what YOU would do. Rust is not extreme in the slightest bit. Just some small patches here and there. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkmanted 54 Posted March 2, 2012 WD40 and some fine steel wool,, then wipe clean and keep them oiled Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted March 2, 2012 Yep, a light oil and the finest steel wool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hd2000fxdl 422 Posted March 2, 2012 While steel wool will work you might be better off using brass wool. Reason being if you don't get every single speck of steel wool out, you now left something that starts rusting very easy and will help speed up the rusting process.
