What it is meant to look like

This is what the air rifle is supposed to look like, all the exposed metal parts were heavily pitted and rusted. According to all the gun specialists, one is never to use abrasives to restore a gun. Unfortunately I did but it's looking okay,  and I used good old vinegar to dissolve all the rust off all the screws and pins. I did not want to soak the barrel and spring chamber in vinegar for fear of the insides becoming sticky.
