Re: Chassepot needle fire Stutzen projekt
|
lost so much time try to get toilet paper I decided today to made something useful! the parts were browned last week. dont know how many times I did it maybe 8-10 times. first all 12 hours than all 24 hours.
you wipe the fluid over the polished steel and let it dry. when the time is over you remove the "rust" with fine steel wool and wipe again
when you thinking its enough you polish the parts with steel wool and heat them with a gas burner. there is fluid in the "brown" surface, suspect its water. you can see it dry very quickly. after this you oil the parts, I take WD 40, and see how the brown surface absorb the oil.
other parts get a fire bluing what is much simpler to make
of course, not the trigger spring
than the best part starting after 12 years I work on this project now
barrel ist still white, will get the antique brown also when sighted but because of miss corona all shooting ranges are closed now.
the unload ramrod got a thread the other end so will handle a brush if in need
need green cloth to lining the patch box inside
its the right retro vintage look for me!
