Hi Gents
I have restored several old firearms in the past - along with tools & anything else that can be tidied up using the process i will describe!!
Anyway came across some Vz52 mags (didn`t know what they were until asking here!) I had buried amongst some MP34 mags.
The Vz`s were all in packing grease but obviously in a well used & uncared for state so with time on my hands, a little knowledge & some good chemicals decided to have a go at restoring them.
Here are before during & after pics:
1. Before anything still in grease
2. After stripping & de-greasing
3. After Altrans wash (this removes rust & other impurities) & drying.
4. After Koldblak wash & drying
5. Before & after
I can get the black a bit deeper but feel that pushing for `as new` finish not as original as old & used look.
The beauty of this job is there`s no shot/beed blasting or using abrasives
I will be advertising the vz`s & WWII Mp 34`s here as well as on SA with discount to BOCN bods. I can do them just de-greased (so I can check they are sound) or `restored`.
If you have anything you want this doing to get in touch.
Cheers for looking :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
