Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Still undecided wether I am going to spraypaint the hw97k or polish it or just leave it lol so stripped it down today to lower power and got started on the action. only 400 grit so looks more scratched than polished in the flesh close up but I stil think it looks bling made the safety catch stand out a bit aswel was going to do the cocking lever aswel but my arm was acheing after doing the the action..just like when you get W8nkers cramp :laugh: need some sort of powery tool polishing machine methinks Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Why not get it reblued? You are not to far from Malloys new outfit! Edited January 4, 2014 by secretagentmole 2 Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 If you spray it. It will look shit. And make more hard work when you decide you don't like it and choose to have it re blued!! Do as you please. Spray the fecker pink but it sounds to me you have your mind made up. Just don't make a balls of it. Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes. I have a HW 35 here that has a cracking and pro paint finish. BUT I don't like it. It's just not the same as a nice engineered blued Finnish. Quote Link to post

It's just not the same as a nice engineered blued Finnish. Fair enough. if you like the traditional look of a gun- sleek lines on the stock , nice bit of wood and some shiney blued metal then that's great. buy a prosport but if it shoots straight then to me its a tool for a job! and its job will be plinking and hunting.. so a dull camo finish will be best suited to it...
