One very rusty ak....

[LazzurusMan]

Sooooo it turns out my "hobby space" doesn't like winter.

My specna arms ak has been in bits for the last few months whilst I tried to find time to start working on it and my brothers ares mutant, aaaaand the spring and spring guide are rusted.
As in the spring is probably gonna need replacing (was gonna happen anyway as I'm installing short stroked gears) and the bearing on the spring guide are completely fused with rust.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I could remove the rust, or better yet know where I can get a v3 quick change spring guide? Everything Ive found so far online seems to be for v2 or not for a quick change gearbox.


I suppose thisll teach me to trust landlords/letting agents when they say theres no damp issues anywhere in a house.
