These "salt wood stock" guns are, depending on the extent of the damage, worth considerably less than an equal condition Superposed without the salt problem. There are a lot of variations of the Superposed that can also affect its value. My advice would be to consult one of the firearm pricing guides avalible at any large book store, keeping in mind that these pricing guides generally quote pricing that you might expcept to pay for the firearm at a gunshop not what they will give you for that gun.
it contains a higher carbon content than other types of steel, which makes it more susceptible to corrosion. The presence of carbon in mild steel allows for the formation of iron oxide (rust) when exposed to oxygen and moisture. Additionally, mild steel lacks alloying elements like chromium or nickel that can help improve its corrosion resistance.

For mine tub, I used phosphoric acid to remove the rust, then reaplied enamelent laquer. I had partialy rotten ring around the main drain in the tub, but with some silicone gui I sealed it off. Expect to be temp solution, worth 1-2 years.
The easiest metal outdoor dining sets to oown are made of aluminium. This is because it will not rust or fade. Its durable and comes in a variety of colors to fit your space. It is light weight so it can be moved easily when the need arises. It can be cleaned with mild soap and water and otherwise requires no maintenance.
That doesn't make any sense rust is iron oxide
Yes, mild carbon steels are very prone to rust.
They are heavy, cheao and it rust
If it is not coated, it is exposed to the air (or whatever) and will rust.
I've had a Marlin/Glenfield model 50 for many years. I got it in the late 90's at a pawn shop for $100. I dont know if this was a good price, since I can't find anyone who knows what they are worth. It had mild rust on the barrel and many scratches on the stock. After a lot of cleaning, and a refinishing of the stock, the gun looks great. Its also a conversation piece at the range since there arent many left around. The gun shoots great and has become one of my favorite firearms.

In mild steel there are negligeble alloying elements which has no effect on physical & chemical properties of MS. On the other hand due to alloying elements [ Ni & Cr ] oxidation is avoided.
Yes, over time brass can show mild signs of rust, especially inside the pipe. Most modern faucets are thoroughly treated to be rust resistant though, so you don't need to worry unless you have very old faucets.
Sidewalk chalk is made up on calcium carbonate, which is a mild alkaline substance (a base). Acids corrode metals, bases do not. Therefore, sidewalk chalk should not rust metal.
To remove rust from piston rings, you can use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, which acts as a mild abrasive and rust remover. Alternatively, you can use rust remover products specifically designed for automotive applications. For tough rust, a fine-grit sandpaper or a wire brush can help, but care must be taken to avoid damaging the rings. Always ensure to clean and lubricate the rings thoroughly after rust removal.
Acid does not remove rust, however the use of phosphoric acid on rust converts the iron oxide to iron phosphate, which in turn can be painted without the fear of rust forming. The iron phosphate surface will not deteriorate the metal like iron oxide does.
Hydrogen peroxide can help remove light rust from metal surfaces by acting as a mild oxidizing agent. You can soak the rusted object in hydrogen peroxide for a few hours or overnight, then scrub off the loosened rust with a brush or cloth. However, for heavy or stubborn rust, you may need to use additional methods such as a rust remover or sanding.
To prevent rust on stainless steel appliances, regularly clean them with a mild detergent and water, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, and dry them thoroughly after cleaning. Additionally, applying a stainless steel cleaner or polish can help maintain the appearance and protect against rust.
