I've noticed that over time some of my magazines that were in storage for longer time have developed slight rust on their (painted) surface. They originally had a slight film of silicone oil, but it does not seem to have helped.

Would you know a good way to restore them?

The last resort would be probably a wire brush or other mechanical method, though it would remove paint, too, resulting in more action to repaint magazines.]]> Modelgun Caps, Cartridges and Magazines Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:36:59 GMT http://mp40modelguns.forumotion.net/modelgun-caps-cartridges-and-magazines-f6/cleaning-rust-from-metal-magazines-how-t1562.htm#11040 http://mp40modelguns.forumotion.net/modelgun-caps-cartridges-and-magazines-f6/cleaning-rust-from-metal-magazines-how-t1562.htm http://mp40modelguns.forumotion.net/modelgun-caps-cartridges-and-magazines-f6/9mm-mgc-cartridges-how-compatable-t1752.htm Cerwyn Would MGC cartridges branded for :- M39, Sig P210, Sig P220 be compatable with each other I've no dimensions to compare directly, but they're all 9mm and their rims and rim grooves look very similar.

In-between firing rounds when they are re-loaded (not fully cleaned) two cotton buds (or Qtips) together are a great way to wipe the inside of 7mm cap rounds of cap residue before re-loading the next caps.

I was thinking of firing some in my m1921 thompson. Would these primers pose the same currosion danger as caps containing pospherous? (I cannot remember the last time my platoon actually cleaned our .50 cals so I think they may be more friendly to steel).If this is so and given the price difference, I think I'd feel pretty good about buying primers to fire. ...

I plan on using my MP40 for reenacting but would like a little more realistic sound. I have heard that you can use two caps instead of one. Is this posasible?

I saw these on Yahoo! Japan auctions. I thought you guys might be interested in taking a quick peek at these. Looks like some old? disposable rounds for the MGC M9.

I have a display drum mag for an MGC Tommy. Are internal parts available to make it functional? I didn't see anything on Francky's site, but maybe I just don't know what to look for...

Has anybody got any information on which grade of brass model gun cartridges are made from and whether different manufacturers use different materials?
