Sharps Borchardt Action
#26
have you tried using a battery charger and some washing soda in water to cook the rust out, a cheap battery charger with the negitive lead hooked to the receiver and the positive lead hooked to a hunk of scrap will basically plate the rust off the parts. the lower the electrical charge the longer it will take for resultes. I did some C-clamps that I found that I had forgotten about for like 25 years with this method using my charger set on 12 volts and 15 amps and in like 30 minutes all the rust was washed off with a brush and they look like new.

anyway hope you get it apart, take your time thats a hunk of history you have. do you have any pictures of it.
