New Project
Ronvandyn:
Took the Dremel to the gun today. As soon as I got done I asked the wife if I could get one. Them Dremels are GREAT!!
Got all the corrosion off of it, sanded quite a bit of it down to reduce the look of the pitting, and reversed the Extractor.
I read in a couple of forums that this particular weapon came from the factory with about 50% of the guns having a backwards extractor. Took me and my bud about an hour to figure out what the problem was (this is why the magazine would not seat in the weapon), and another hour to get it swapped around. The blind leading the blind. Then I gave him the bad news, we had to remove all the different parts when we get to the bluing stage. I thought he was going to cry. Here are some pics of the project at the end of day 2:
Coming along nicely. I figure another day and we can start bluing the thing. 5 or 6 days of work and it should be a real nice little gun.

Do you have access to a hot blue tank or are you going to cold blue it?
Ronvandyn:
I WISH! No, gonna have to cold blue it. Its a nice little gun but the cost of having someone hot blue it is just not worth it.

bkoenig:
Darn...I was hoping I had found someone who could hot blue stuff for me...
