Good job!

it looks as though the rust was superficial, just like the VZ24 mentioned in post #8.

I would at least show your friend how to wax his gun.

Just put it all back together, the innards was surprisingly clean. The bolt had some minor rust on it.

As far as before and after pictures, I think it comes close to being miraculous. I really thought there would be spray painting involved.

Hurts me to know it will be in the prior shape in a year.

You couldn't see the warning on the barrel before.

just a for the record post, but if you are going black paint, a step up from black Krylon engine paint is brake caliper paint. Good to 900f or so, and reasonably chemical resistant. Fairly popular with those that repaint Ruger 10/22 receivers now they use paint instead of anodizing.
