Thread: breathing new life into a beautiful old girl

spent bloody ages cleaning up the mess made by the solder, : then hours polishing the barrel back to mirror bright.
the old original parts soaked in phosphoric acid to remove any rust in the pitting, it has caused a "Damascus" effect to the steel.
it will go when the blueing covers it. kinda cool tho.

blued all the metalwork and soaked it in oil.

assembly required

not looking too bad. mite need to take it for a shot in the morning. :boogie:
