I used WD-40 and brass/copper brushes to remove the surface rust. Anything deeper than that I boiled the parts in distilled water for 45 minutes, then scrubbed more. The sling is a US supplied M1 Garand sling!
Acetone removes old dusty grease and oil. If your goal is to totally clean the gun, It is good to strip the metal of the old grease, then scrub and apply new clean grease/oil. Certainly never use the acetone on the wood as it will damage any finish that is on the stock.
@@NgJackal1990 This particular Type 24 still has rifling. There is no militia marking on the stock. Which is why it is in better shape than most. I am ensuring is stays that way!
@@LegitTurd The reasoning I'm asking because these rifles were heavily used during the wars and their conditions are usually average to bad. Their barrels could be worn out.
@@NgJackal1990 Certainly, I would say 95% of the Type 24s I see are worn totally out. This one is in great condition considering the average Type 24. If you had a worn out barrel it is totally up to you to rebarrel. What is more important? A more original (collectible) rifle or a shootable rifle, certainly options to weigh.

What did you use to remove the rust?
Also, what sling is that on the gun?
I used WD-40 and brass/copper brushes to remove the surface rust. Anything deeper than that I boiled the parts in distilled water for 45 minutes, then scrubbed more.
The sling is a US supplied M1 Garand sling!
@@LegitTurd Thank you guys for these questions and answers. I got one it really rough condition earlier and this will be invaluable to my restoration.
@@LegitTurd steel wool 0000?
@@NgJackal1990 That will work but I prefer copper/brass pads. You can scrub extra hard without worry of damaging or future potential rust.
That's cool but why acetone though? that is for nail polish removing.
