I wish this was mine to work on but it belongs to a guy in the FB e-tank group. Says he at least wants to get it free enough to remove the 2 live rounds. I suggested he let it soak before turning on the power just in case.

I'd like to hear the story where he found that.
Have him soak it in brake fluid. We had a big discussion on osa about penetrating oils awhile back and if I remember right brake fluid was the best although it will remove paint which is not an issue with this classic.
Brake fluid or transmission fluid. Don't remember which.

Brake fluid is what I used for years to break things free, but an e-tank will remove all the rust inside and out if done correctly. No having to sand off any old finish or markings that might be left.

Kroil I forgot what the other stuff is. But that’s what’s been suggested to clean suppressor when they get super fouled up. Either or should work. But I agree on soaking it first.
