Jeez darryl! how quick do you turn them arround !!! i havent even finished sanding yet and you have done a full rifle

 

Can you PM me what to do when you re-blue the barrel and metal parts as thats one area i dont want to just jump into doing without some guidance

very nice mate, can not believe the difference between the start and finish, also mate any tips on the reblue of barrel. i have a bsa spitfire from a mate thats in a sorry state so looking to tidy it up i fine with the woodwork but no idea of re blue.

 

The blueing process can be hit or miss..... The way it is now was my second attempt at getting it right, its all in the preparation, you need to make sure the metal is spotless and grease/oil free.

I found I get the best results with Bisley Cold Blue, but I heat up the metal instead of applying it cold.

 

 

Very nice mate, well done

I'm thinking of restaining my tx200 , what oil did you finish it off with,, walnut oil ? Or Danish oil?

Atb chris

 

Its Tru-oil Chris, ass 2 coats, leave to cure, buff with 0000 wire wool, add 2 more coats and so on till youre happy with the finish

How did you remove all the pitting daryll?

 

Lewis

[Marksman 934]

depends what you mean by pitting mate, if it's just surface rust then fine wire wool or scrunched up aluminium foil & gun oil

If its eaten right into the metal then you'll need to either kurust it & fill it or take it back to bare metal and polish it out
