What kinda shape is the ram in?
This the one you were telling me about? Looks like a prime candidate for the Evaporust.

The ram actually looked alot better than I was expecting.
I'm gonna take it to work and sand blast the frame and polish the ram and assembly.
I'm not sure what the original color looks like tho. Would like to paint it back that color
i see you

I would clean it using electrolysis. Easy to rig up a set up.
We have a glass bead blaster at work and I’d not near about as harsh or as abrasive as sand blasting. I can get it in and bead blast it if you want, but again, I’d look at clean it using electrolysis if it were mine.

I’d either do the evaporust thing or what VR was talking about.......then oil it and hang it up as a conversation piece.
But that’s me.

Wow I'll have to try that out.
I'll mount it to my new reloading bench after I paint it just to have it on there. Prolly decap brass with it or something to keep it oiled and in use.

I just assembled it back and put on the mantel, so it’s dusty. I have a few and use them when needed
That was just done in a 5 gallon bucket. (I have a 55 gallon drum set up for old engine parts)
I Put 4 pieces of rebar around it on the inside, Connected together with copper wire. Fill with water, stir in some washing soda, submerge the piece to be cleaned in the middle of the bucket. I used a board and another piece of copper wire. Hook up a battery charger Positive lead to the wire connecting the rebar. Connect the negative lead to the wire hanging the piece to be cleaned.
The chemical reaction of the washing soda water and the electricity pull the rust off the negative charged item to the positive charged rebar.
The lower amperage you use seems to work better to me, though it takes longer. If your charger wants to “cycle” add a battery in series to stop the “pulsing”
nice. now get busy with the sharpening stones lol
