Hello.

I wonder if anyone could restore this unnumbered mag. Is it possible? Maybe G.T. can say something?
This mag works just fine, but it is not very pretty to look.

Does it have special significance? I ask because I'm seeing some metal work before bluing that will cost more than most of those mags. are worth. And then you will end up with a re-finished mag, probably worth less than a less-shiney original mag.

Hi Jussi, David has it right... Cost is the deciding factor... it would be prohibitivly expensive, and even with that, it would show restoration... You can still get a very nice fxo for $150.00, and it would cost more then that to repair...

Thanks.

So this will be a shooter mag. I will leave it as it is.
I have a couple of good ones too.
