What is that white

[l921428x]

powdery fuzz that builds up on old plastic and rubber butt plates?

This would not even be a question if this had not happened.
Jackie? Yeah. I want a .22 bolt action for me. Really? Yes and not that pos you shot yourself with.
Uh sure let me look around. Well I didn't have to look far because I have a Win. 69A s l lr .22 in my safe.
It has been there forever got it for 12.50 15 or more years ago.

Just took off the org Lyman peeps and have ordered the standard rear sight and riser.

How do I kill the white shit?

yeah. it's icky . smells worse than mildew .

i had a 22/410 savage and when i took the nylon forearm off it was coated in this crap and reeked like musty cardboard.




IMHO, soft toothbrush and warm soapy water.

Yeah that is what I used. It was a harder task than I imagined but still I did not want to use the brass
brushes. But all is well and I found more info on the rifle. It is not a match or target 69A. It was made after that time
and while it came with the Lyman EW peep sight the receiver is grooved for scope mounts. Model G6903R "Jr. Target Shooters Special"
But I do like the fact that it shoots shorts, long and long rifle rounds.
Any way my wife has already called it heavy. Well no more than the duffle bag you carry for a purse. LOL
But I am thinking about getting us a pair of pellet rifles, the kind you break (no air cylinders) for plinking out back.

Not sure if it's the same thing but on my Buck pocket knives when Delrin or phenolic scales they tend to get a white haze on them over the years. I've had good luck scrubbing them really well with a toothbrush and Dawn dish soap then soaking the entire knife in a container of mineral oil. After a day or two in the soak I let them drain and then blow then out/off with compressed air. The mineral oil seems to rejuvenate the scales. Don't know if it would help with your issue but I doubt the mineral oil would cause any damage.

Older recoil pads were real rubber.
Pachmayr grips are also real rubber and they recommend Armor-All to restore and preserve them.
You might try that to remove the white oxidized rubber.

Ok another question. The Rear sight and elevation bar will be here tomorrow/today. I am sure they tap on from the front to back but which
lubricant should I use? I was going to use white lithium. Is it a force fit or just a agreement in size? The sight can be returned but if it is not
what I like what is the best way to remove it?
