[QUOTE="Chrismadrid, post: 110964, member: 4416"] The beast was stripped down - on the whole the ali parts were still OK and anodised so I degreased and phosphated exposed areas. The air cylinder was phosphated as new so I just degreasead and rephosphated. The barrel was stuck in the lathe and emery'd back to bare metal - degreased and phosphated. The Trigger guard - was sanded back to bare metal and casting marks filed away - phosphated and sprayed. I did not build a jig for the oven - but I will next time. Screws - Hand held and fine sprayed (latex gloves) Coats - well - I just kept applying fine coats until I'd emptied the airbrush - 3 at least on all parts. Scope. A mate is gifting me a really cheap 4*32. This'll get redone WITHOUT stripping. A pure "will it hold out" test. But I want to see if I can find a simple 10*42 - strip it and do the outer part in Stainless as well, plus some mounts/rings. HtH Chris [/QUOTE]
