Having bought an old Saracen/Ferret turret, I'd be grateful for advice on the best way to clean it up for painting. Would sand blasting get it back to good metal, or would needle scaling be better? Or would most recommend just getting to work with a wire brush (though that sounds awfully tedious)?
After getting it back to clean metal, what's recommended for rust-proofing and priming?
