Knight LK-93

[Chundoo]

I have a 50 cal LK-93 I inherited from a friend. I don't use and wonder if it's worth anything. The bore is rough, he didn't take very good care of it. I see some light rust and don't have any inclination to work on it. The outside, plunger, trigger, and breech plug are all fine. Thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Maybe a pic down the bore, breech area, and overall would help Chundo

1. Plug the breech and stand barrel on end.

2. Fill the bore with Evapo Rust. Warning: the stuff removes gun blue.

3. Let stand for 24 hours.

4. Pour out the Evapo Rust.

5. Clean the bore.

Okie is spot on.Got a wolf with a rusted barrel, just wanted the action and stock. Rather than trash the barrel I used the Evapo Rust. Put a rubber plug at the muzzle end and removed/trashed the breechplug. Filled it to the threads and i now have another damn barrel that needs a stock/action!! I flushed it with water and then patched it with windex wet patches and dry ones. After about 30 patches its clean and bore is in good shape.

I might try that, what do you use to plug the breech?

But was thinking someone looking for a cheap project gun might be more inclined.

You can get those cheap synthetic corks to use as a plug for the barrel.

Could you show us some before and after photos?

 

[Chundoo]

Will do when I get to it. My time is precious to me now. At 80 years the body seems to prefer sitting in my recliner. Lol

You talking about the kind for wine bottles?

 

[phalanx]

Yes, the kind for wine, i use those and a rubber plug that came with an old Outers Foul out system i have. Cork will work too.
