Juno Tom Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Have a Mini 14 that got rusted in house fire, used evaporust to get off rust. It is now down to bare metal with uneven gray color. Trigger assembly and folding stock have light pitting. Could anyone recommend a class 3 restorer with knowledge of Mini 14? Thanks Edited November 25, 2022 by Juno Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 My ac556k would always get a rust spot over the blue original finish if I didnt coat with oil before I put in the safe. I had a local refinishing shop cerakote it and a few mags for $300 and it looks better than the original finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juno Tom Posted November 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Yes, I've thought about a good cerakote job, maybe even parkerizing first then cerakoting? Would be more durable than bluing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Yeah I thought about parkerizing first but my shop doesnt do it. Didnt want to ship it off and pay freight/insurance plus the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Fish Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 There was a parts kit listed on 1919a4.com recently. Not sure if it's still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juno Tom Posted November 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Will look for it, worst pitted part is trigger group. Would be nice to find good used trigger group. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
