Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
Noxx... I'm an apprentice gunsmith.
I am buying this poor old model 19 specifically to clean her up myself.
Polish, blue, timing and trigger job.
GarandMarine:
Revolver get, they took my opening of $300 with a little hemming and hawing. Pics tonight when I pick her up
Noxx:
Well you set yourself a hard row. I wouldn't want a revolver to be my first refinish job.
GarandMarine:
It's not. I've already refinished a barrel to a matchless/mirror finish with excellent marks from my instructors, and I start doing a total refinish and reblue on a rifle tomorrow, before I'll get to refinishing this handgun I have a couple more refinishing jobs to do, as well as polishing and bluing the .338-06
Not the best pics ever, but she's in pretty good shape all told. Mechanically perfect, and the surface rust fell off with a little scotchbrite. Going to need to deblue weapon before I can see exactly what's pitting and what's just fucked up bluing, However I think there's enough little spots here and there that I probably won't be able to get the finish back up to a factory finish without jeopardizing structural integrity or things like the proof mark and serial numbers. Going to consult with my trademasters before I go full tilt at her.
Orkboy:
Is that a gun resting on a MC jacket? Are you more badass than I previously suspected?
