Re: Collapsable buttstock
I decided to phostphate the ring and washer. I went to Home Depot and got some of the etch and clean, phosphoric acid solution, which is a metal, paint pretreatment. I soaked the ring and washer in it over night (after removing what plating I could with sandpaper). The following morning they were a nice uniform, dark gray color. What plating I missed with the sandpaper just came right off, the phosphoric acid having gotten underneath it. Rinsed with water and oiled them, looks better now...
