Thanks everyone for all the info. With all your help and talking to a few local gunsmiths, I decided to send it back to Unertl. I called them and they told me it shouldn't cost much. They get a couple a week. However it can take a while. They use a syringe and use oil called mouse milk. Put a couple drops on it and let it sit. He told me sometimes it breaks free fast other times it can take a few weeks of this process. THANKS!!!!

    cattlebuyer,

    You know it. Mouse Milk was great stuff for breaking up dried Royco and AeroShell no. 7 that had combined with rust and aluminum oxide.

    I found it difficult to get mouse milk. Had to use a teensy-weensy little stool to sit on, so I could reach under the animal to milk it.[:D]Joe

    Sounds funny, but mouse milk is an actual product. It's a very fine penatrating oil used in aviation according to the mouse milk website.

    Sorry. I missed the original thread leading to this one, but if you have something sort of frozen (rusted) but still moving slightly this is helpful.

    I started my career at age 18 many years ago as a machinist in an engineering tool and die shop and worked with a savy old tool and die maker. He was watching me trying to free up an old pair of linesman pliers that were rusted tight. I worked on them off and on all day spraying with different penetrating oils and moving them as far as they would go for a few tries every time I walked by without much luck.

    He watched and let me do that all day and then said "lesson time". He moved the can of oil out of the way, picked up an empty coffee can then filled the bottom with laquer thinner and placed the pliers in it.

    After about 20 seconds of working the pliers open and closed, the thinner turned rust colored and the pliers were completely loose. He dried them out with an air hose and put a drop or two of machine oil on them and handed them back. They were just like new.

    I've used that trick for nearly 35 years now and it nearly always works. If it's not easy to submerge, wet the joint with thinner, work it a little and then blow out the loose crud with and air hose and repeat.

    Note: If it's completely stuck or made of stainless steel or aluminum, this wont help. Don't ever force stainless, it will gall. You can wash it out but then apply a good lubricant before moving it.

    Bud, in memory of you and others who took the time to teach and inspire people. The credit goes to you.

    Thank you.
    Bob, BSME

    I had that same problem.......with the mice, I mean. Every time I tried to milk them, the bull mice would come running over and bite the s#!+ out of me!

    I corralled the bull mice and kept them busy with a couple sweet young things, and I got my own little bitty stool, too and that worked out all right, but the mice kept complaining that my hands were too cold. Whatteryougonnado!!? I askya!

    So now I buy the stuff. Cheaper in the long run than working with a bunch of complaining females! There's this little old guy up in San Leandro, California that has a commercial operation going with mice that are much more cooperative than the ones I had:

    World Wide Filter
    1689 Abram Court
    P.O. Box 1758
    San Leandro, CA 94577
    510-483-5122
    sales@mousemilk.com
    crhodin@earthlink.net
    8 oz. squeeze bottle: $7.22
    1 qt. bottle: $23.94

    I guess you should call first or just send your credit card info and shipping information via email to both email addresses.
    P.S. You can also do an on-line order like I just did. There does not seem to be an additional shipping charge. At least it did not show up in the on-line order form.
