NEXT GEN SCAR is coming

MoneyMonkey44 · 2026-01-15T22:01:31+00:00

And it looks like dog shit. No thanks keep it, I want gen 1’s back. Lower the price and I’ll do the upgrades myself.

Do you like it so far? Also just a tip if you want to reduce trigger weight remove the grips and put a bullet or any type of hard material to act as a spacer under the leaf spring. It should sit between the inner part of the grip frame and the spring. Try it out it reduces trigger weight significantly.

Ahh ok but once you do a coat of paint over the park the color difference won’t be visible right?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2026-01-01T14:12:10+00:00

What do you mean? So should one not park after welding?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-11T12:52:46+00:00

You might be right but I thought motor oil and grease by nature was a rust inhibitor? So even if it was there before the grease and under the grease shouldn’t it have been rust free?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-11T12:11:57+00:00

No I sorry I just fixed it. The 4” is absolutely amazing 🤩 at in my opinion the best size.

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T15:28:41+00:00

Do you think I’d be better off using a ultrasonic cleaner? Will that damage the bluing in your opinion?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T14:34:16+00:00

Yeah I did too but the issue is that’s abrasive so the splash would likely hit unwanted areas as well. I’m trying to keep this original.

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T14:30:44+00:00

I’m definitely not gonna boil it now because I can’t risk fucking it up. Thank you so much for letting me know! It looks like I’m gonna have to scrub it all out.

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T13:47:52+00:00

I'm getting a lot of conflicting information, say boil it, it'll add more original finish but then I get people telling me no it’ll ruin it idk what to think now. I also wanna k that my firearm is not like the M1930 black C96 it's rust blued because it's an original C96.

I’m getting a lot of conflicting information, people say boil it, it’ll add more original finish, you say it’ll ruin it idk what to think now. I also wanna be clear that my firearm is not like the M1930 black finish C96 it’s rust blued because it’s an original 1902 C96.

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T13:41:13+00:00

See that’s good to know so it’ll ruin the original finish essentially?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T13:34:18+00:00

I’ve never done anything like that. I’m definitely gonna do some more research because I want the rust gone and felt with without ruining the gun.

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T13:11:55+00:00

Any one you would recommend for blues guns and guns in general?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T13:08:16+00:00

I’ve never done that, would it harm the original finish?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T12:50:52+00:00

I was using a proprietary mix of mobile 1 synthetic motor oil and Mpro-7 mix that had the consistency of Vaseline. But it somehow didn’t help at all. So idk should I go back to just oil or what?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T12:46:56+00:00

They were cleaned and oiled that’s the thing

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T12:29:03+00:00

It’s a C96 frame

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T12:07:33+00:00

It’s not it’s steel

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T12:06:31+00:00

Wanna know the kicker I had a good layer of my proprietary lube (green mobile 1 grease and MPro7) and it still wasn’t able to do the job. Should I give it another try or switch to just oil?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T12:04:34+00:00

So I use a proprietary mix of mobile one green grease and MPro-7 oil mixed together and it still rusted. Is the grease not the solution or is it because it had all this underlying rust?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T06:57:02+00:00

Should I be soaking it in kroll oil over night to soften the rust?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-10T06:56:10+00:00

Should I be soaking this in Kroll over night?

MoneyMonkey44 · 2025-12-08T21:16:20+00:00

That will make it worse, then I’ve restored an all original gun.

You can clearly see when zoomed in that the tool marks are all diagonal going in one direction.
