S/42 Questions

Others here know more than I but $400 for a shooter is pretty darn good. I wish I could find a matching project gun for that much. Brownells sells a fine nickel stripper; its better to strip the nickel than have some Dud buff it off (as if it hasn't been buffed enough already). As for the grips, they tend to turn a blackish color with dirt, grime, use and age. Good luck and enjoy your shooter.

Which nickle stripper? They sell two different ones.

I have used the room temp stripper on both a Colt 1911 and a S&W with great success. Just be sure that it is warm enough.
