    German phosphate question

    I've been looking all over the place for the 1940's patent detailing the composition and techniques applied by German small arms manufacturers in the process of phosphating metal. Does anybody have a link to or a copy of the patent, or maybe manufacturers' process instructions? This is for an MP44 S/A clone build. Thanks

    I have an old book on Blueing and Browning that has a chapter on phosphate. The book is copyrighted 1936. It just give old copyright info. May or may not help.

      That's a good start. Is there any mention of the chemical composition of the phosphate solution?

        StG 44's were finished with bluing until late in the war, then phosphate. Zinc phosphate was used on K98k's, so the same was probably used on late war StG 44's.
        Revolvers are not pistols

        pistol nouna handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel
        Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.
