I cannot stop laughing, but i guess it's an honest mistake, heck i would have done the same thing... This guy on my canadian gun forum read about how you can clean a gun stock in the dishwasher, you know to remove cosmo and other packing grease. This dude puts his entire norinco m305 (aka m14) in there !

Results copy and pasted from the original thread:

Just thought I'd get some gun talk going to help subdue the political madness going on in the world right now, if only for a moment . Heck, i got my own issues here on the "homefront", but that's another story for another thread...

Ouch, didn't he know to remove the metal parts first?

 

[CNC_OPERATOR]

OH no!

Even though its a Norinco it still makes me tear up a little. Then I laugh my a$$ off.

Did he save it from becoming a pile of dust?

 

[Michael J]

From what i gather, the guy is going to clean up the rust and re-blue it . She will be saved, norinco or not, still a gun that needs to be rescued .

Never underestimate the ability of a motivated idiot.

How long did it stay in after it stoped cheaning?

 

[Trutu]

I've seen super hot water instantly rust metal before. I bet that it rusted during the cycle, since dishwashers create such hot temperature water.

 

[Michael J]

Just checked, he took it out right after it finished. Said he set it to "pots and pans" mode, if that makes a difference?

Well that beats me fitting a repop .44 Remington 1858 Army to a holster and using a water based leather treatment w/o realizing it was water based. I was jist ignorant, thats jist dumn. Took several hours scrubbing to clean it up enough to reblue her.

 

[jmann]

It looks like he got all of the cosmoline off

Umm; at the VERY least, Saran Wrap IS your friend in such situations...

I guess it worked huh?.....

 

[blackrifles]

Loks like a prime candidate for parkerizing, unless you REALLY like the "battlefield look".

 

[Shattered]

I'd beadblast it and THEN blue it. It'll come out a satin blue, quite attractive, actually.

And it DID get the cosmo out...

Please...

...do tell him to remove the stock before putting it into the blueing tanks.
