Here is my first attempt at a refinish and documentation of the process. I've been playing with this one since last Christmas

I was pleased with the results and will add grips and a magazine to complete the project. Then off the the range.
The research and help form the board was invaluable and actually gave me the idea to try it myself
Thanks for the help (especially Howard for the strawing info)
