johnbaz 363 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 You're doing a fab job of the 35L Jimmy Regarding the black stains, Depending upon what it is, A bleach bath may removove it, If it's an oil stain, Oxalic acid will most likely remove it Here's a Mk1 HW80 that I bought from a local dive shop, It was pitted very deeply so I had it on my 30"x1" linisher but only on the slack area above the platten, Kept going until i'd removed metal to the bottom of the deepest pit!! I polished it then a mate got it Hot chemically re blacked for me.. Stripped and partially polished. Reblacked The whole. This is the same as the one I used Can't wait to see all the guns refinished- Grand job mate John 3 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,730 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Nice john very nice I was going to put the grinder to it with a flap disc on it but Viz told me not to as it would put flat spots on her so did it all by hand lol Im fecked the night mind im leaving the stock until tomorrow ill give her a rub over with the wire wool then put the first coat of tru oil on her then let it dry before the next coat , just got to polish the piston and chamber and get rid of some of the old shit from inside her now then she will be ready for the new spring and piston seal and the breach seal then put her all back together i just hop Barry is happy with her . Just dont know what piston seal is on her its as if there were two one inside the other the outer one dose not look like leather and the inner one is hard plastic atvbjimmy :thumbs: 3 Quote Link to post
