Before going any farther I needed to address the scabies that were growing on the replacement parts. The rust wasn't bad but it was there.
The Power Custom cylinder dismantling and remantling tool was used to remove the guts of the cylinder, then my shop assistant and I moved to the kitchen and set a pot on the stove to boil. To keep peace in the family I highly recommend that you buy your own pot for boiling gun parts. Momma probably won't mind if you use her stove, but don't even think about using her pots and pans.
Since this was unplanned rust (as opposed to planned rust that I created), the boiling time was 45 minutes to make sure that the conversion process had time to do it's thing. That presented a good opportunity to do some other cooking. Lunch today was boiled barrel and cylinder with a side of beefaroni. Yummm.
Another thing I've learned along the way is NOT to use the formed sheet metal tongs that are in most kitchens for removing gun parts from a pot of boiling water. The parts will slip out and as the tongs flip around they will splash boiling water onto your belly, which is double plus ungood. The best method is to attach a piece of wire to each part as a handle, but in a pinch

the style of kitchen tongs made for ears of corn work well. Again, buy your own......or wait until SWMBO is out of town.
The boiling, lunching, and cooling off time was just long enough to watch the second half of the movie I started earlier this week. Just in case you're not feeling old today, the original Indiana Jones movie was made 43 years ago.
After the cooling off period the parts were carded with a Grobet carding wheel. We could have moved on to final assembly, but the Shop Assistant and I talked things over and decided that this was a good time for a nap.
