Today I went out bought some gun kit items. I got a wire mesh barrel cleaner (that needs to be beat down so it'll fit better and won't catch) and a brass shop brush (which I wore the hell down after removing all my remaining finish)
It
Is
Fucking
Gorgeous.
I love the way this gun looks stripped down and to its steel... but... that's not good for stain and rust protection, so the truth is-
I'm getting ready to blue it.
Yeah.. I know, "But Anton, you HATE black glossy finishes!"
Well..this damn .38 was super succeptable to rust and corrosion with its standard matte finish, so... I'm doing this out of love. It's not what I want, but its good for my beloved.
Besides, maybe this way I can take it out of its gun cocoon.
.. In fact, since I'm such a nice guy I think I'll pull this thing out of its wrapping to show you the steel- I should've took before pics of when it still had ... about half a layer of its matte finish, but just use your imagination :P
I'll post a pic after it's finished with the blueing as well.
