So I have been going threw my dads guns and taking them one by one and *restoring them* mostly just cleaning and replacing some parts. He has nothing fancy but its a hobby of mine and hopefully will secure them in my future lol.
So latest project was fixing his armscore .22 k-mart gun. The stock is coated in HEAVY house paint lol so much so we thought the stock was plastic. The blueing shows signs of rust. And he has no mags. So after giving it a light coat of hops and using some cotton shirts I get to the nitty gritty rust..... well.... I scratched up the blueing pretty bad so I decided to unblue it and do a cold blue on it.
My question is, is anyone interested in pics of the process. I'm Probably going to use vinegar to get the blueing off, it seems to perhaps not been factory blued because its coming off so easy. Anyway have not started yet just wondering if anyone would be interested in step by step pics and info on what I'm doing.
I am not a gunsmith or an expert in any way. I do know how to be safe and have experience changing out gun parts and sanding down and restaining.
