Thanks Nukem. Oh I can't thank Policeluger enough for the offer and I do not want to sound as tho I'm snubbing his offer but you hit the nail on the head. I'd like to get her in the best shape I can. I already fired her for the first time in over 30years thats more then my father could ever do with it.

Ok tomorrow the striping should be done and I'll start sanding it. As of now all I have that I plan to reuse is the lower as the upper and the barrel are beyond redoing even according to Thor so I have a 1913 upper and barrel on the way that the seller told me would be here tomorrow, I just hope they get here by the end of the week.

So rust bluing huh? Guess I need to go do some reading, thanks man.

Some descriptions almost make it sound like black magic, but a decent rust bluing it's not very difficult to do and if you buy a bottle from Brownells you'll also get instructions that are sufficient for a good, first time job. You may not get a 100% correct Luger blue, but pre-mixed bluing solution is the way to go for a project like what you're describing. It can be done by anyone who has enough patience, and you also need an understanding wife who will let you boil gun parts on the kitchen stove.
