I have second-hand rear sights from SMLE No.1 Mk1 (windage and elevation fine adjustment) and No1. MkIII (windage fine adjustment) rifles. What's the best way to get the grime and rust off without wrecking them? I hope to find homes for them on rifles someday, with a view to active use rather than just hoarding and display.
