Well. I already sent it to laser weld the deep rust areas and grinded every imperfection out. Wasn't really visible at the pics that i posted. And now it gets reblued and the right parts become straw yellow. As the pistol is nothing special or something for collectors i try to turn it into one that looks like new. It bothers me to have something full of rostholes and ugly details...
And i wanted to try how easy or hard it is to restore something like this.
I have to say that even laser welding leaves the added material harder than the rest. Makes it dificult to grind it down with a file and leave the proessed area invisible..
I will show you the result afterwards. I hope it gets well....
