Recovered guns update.

[Hoggslayer]

Yup they are horrible on a laptop/desktop. Feel like I'm on Google Earth looking for a haybale..

If you hold down your control key and scroll your mouse button, it will resize the page so you can see them. Still a pain in the arse but it's a workaround.

Loss may have been less than deductible or he may not have coverage.

I insure all my guns through a gun insurance agency because they aren’t nosy like most homeowner’s policies are.

Who is that, and is it expensive?

Had no idea Tapatalk did that .

Did I miss where you said if you know if it's loaded? If you know its not loaded whack the front face on the corner of the slide with a rubber mallet. Would help if you can mount the gun in a vise. If you don't know, point it the other way before you wack it.

It appears to be unloaded. But I still don’t plan on standing in front of it while working on it .

I believe it is $3.50 per $1,000 of coverage.

They don’t ask for any info unless a single gun value is over $25k.

Deductibles are very reasonable as well.

A guy on here is selling G19 parts. Maybe you want to have a look.

Im a master armorer certified through Glock. I know they won’t touch it, but I can break it down completely and see if it’s salvageable for you. If it has sentimental value I’ll do it for you. Inside of barrel and channel liner in slide is going to be your largest areas of concern.

1 part molasses and 9 parts water will eat the rust off. Leave it in there for a week.

After just two day in the mix.

Interesting. What does the molasses do?

My Glock was recovered by HPD, it was stolen from my truck at the hospital while my mom was having surgery. I have been waiting a year and a half to get it. Phone call after phone call an no luck yet. It was used in a crime. Not sure if I will ever get my gun back.

Gets the rust off.

MAC or PC?

It does not work on my MAC.

Apparently molasses contains chelating agents. In practice the chelating agent binds with the rust and makes it water soluble. The rust dissolves into the molasses solution and clean metal is left behind.
