Thanks spotter, that is what I was looking for. I even had the site in my favourites and never thought to look there. I now know there are 2 more bits of my proj that unscrew. I know it is empty BTW as the fuse unscrews. The fuse is missing all its guts and you can see inside the proj where the HE would have been. I'll have to get some WD-40 on it. It looks like it could have been buried while loaded in a case at some stage as the outside at the end which would have been exposed is heavily pitted.

Falcon i have restored tips to as new looking that were a lot worse for pitting and had cracks by using a two part epoxy glue of the araladite type ,basically putting a thin smear on the projectile and sanding it before it drys completly then painting , ive rescued some utter horrors before .

Nice idea Daz, I could try it. However first I want to try and get the proj "fully strippable".
