Yeah, ok. Its more like 50 years, but I get the picture. Bottom line, and for Bob, is the metal pit preparation and the French Gray procedure enough to prevent further/future corrosion? It looks bad inside that action now, and any worse could see metal failure such as stress corrosion. Im no metallurgist but Ive been told rust never sleeps and a pit is from rust corrosion. I just hope the rusting process has been stopped and the metal stays sound for another 50 years. Will that be the case here?

Socialism is almost the worst.
