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
