Restoring yet another Remington 512 Sportmaster Part 2

If you missed part one, click here

First step is disassembly, you can see the color case hardening on the bolt and safety are still in very good shape


ready for cleaning 


Some of these parts will be re-installed as is, the color case is intact


As it is on the trigger guard screws


The rear sight was in really good shape, after cleaning I could not see anything wrong with them, so we will put them back on the way they are 





Cleaning the receiver. It is important to get the oil and grease out so I don't contaminate the blueing solution.


I started on the barrel first, it only took a couple of hours to get it perfect, no pitting, just some small dings. This is a 600 grit finish


The parts are polished and ready for the bluing tank


And fresh out of the oil tank after being blued



Before reassembly, I paint the ready-fire indicators on the receiver and firing pin protrusion, with some Testors enamel model paint


Stay tuned for part 3
