Rusted bolt carrier group
I'm bringing my shooting gear out of storage and found a wet box. Nothing much of value in it except a small cardboard box in which I had hidden the bolt carrier group for my AR15. It is all rusted up. Do I hit it with the break free and try salvage it, or just get a new one? If I do get a new one will it shoot? It used to:oh noes:

If it’s blued, you may have a hell of time but still try as per below;
If it’s titanium, Teflon or stainless, soak it in solvent (preferably barrel solvent) for a few days. Heard Coke works as well (Never tried it though). Once/if you can, break it down and repeat the process, then hit it with some barrel brushes or wire toothbrushes.
Lastly check for pitting, hopefully there is none, otherwise it’s scrap metal if it’s on critical parts.
