FXO mag reblue

grapppa · 02-27-2008, 08:06 AM

GT, this FXO had a broken base so I removed the pin and disassembled it...I also already stripped it to the bare metal using a mild muriatic acid solution. I figure that if I reblued the follower and all, I could just strip the blueing off the button afterwards. I guess I will try to rust blue it and see what happens, after all, its only value is as a spare for a shooter. I will, though, replace the bottom with a plastic replacement as they seem to be available. (BTW, GT, are you the same one I see you over on the P.38 forum?) Paul
