2011 forum posts	Coating after exposure to the ammonia fumes seems durable, but is only for decoration so not really tested. I grew up with all sorts of chemicals, most could be bought easily, ether, sulpher, sod. chlorate and nitrate, carbide, etc. etc. Also access to fog detonators, found a Webley pistol with a box of ammo. once, maybe lucky they were all badly corroded.

Google: The Modern Gunsmith James Virgil Howe This man was the director of the Frankford Arsenal in the US. Printed in 1941 it is one of the best books on precision toolmaking I have ever read.
