Bsa Mercury End Block / Advice Please

[mjr88 50]

Hi all

 

As already stated in an earlier posting , i am in the process of refurbing my late 70's Bsa Mercury. I am currently working on the woodwork , a job i have done before , but i will be reluctant to put the rifle back together again with the end block in the state that it is in. Basically , half of the black paint is missing and is a nice shiney silver colour in various places.

A friend told me that you can not reblue the end block , but he didn't say why not or what i could do instead. I have no experince with refurbing guns actions , so any advice will be greatly appreciated ,

John, if it was black paint before surely it can be repainted?

Thanks for the swift reply pink or stink

 

Yes , i've just found out that some people use an enamel spray paint for jobs like this. I believe it's called ' Plasti-kote Fast Dry Enamel Spray Paint '

 

Regards ,
