I posted this in the gunsmithing area. I thought I might throw it up here see if anyone had any suggestions, or experiences that might help me out a little. Was hoping to maximize my intake of knowledge from everyone else.
I was thinking about re-bluing my Turk Mauser for the heck of it. Give me some experience with some bluing. The numbers don't match, and its just kinda looking old. I have a Birchwood Casey kit that I already did a pistol with that was in sad shape. It was my first one, and it didn't look as nice as the pic on the box... Just wondering if there are any good tricks of the trade or something that a newbie might be interested in. How is a good way to get a nice deep and shiny look on it.
Turkish Mauser M38???
Pics to the post I made after I bought it. The old original bluing on it is faded.
Also as I think it might be a good idea to poll the audience, what parts would make it accurate to original specs if I were to blue them or not. For example, on the bolt, the sights, etc...Just looking for input. Thanks.
