Got Uzi Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I will send you pictures of the finished product once it warms up as my heater is out in my machine shop so its too damn cold to paint. Notice how your not able to tell the original bar was removed? I tried to make sure that the welds would blend in to the old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconbob Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Of course we all have our opinions but if you parkerize a British era M3 you are Immediately changing it from original as these guns were not parkerized. They werepainted. I have one and when I got it there were several shiny spots where the painthad been damaged and the underlying steel was a raw, shiny silver color. If it was me I would gently remove the glue with acetone or a similar solvent andWith very fine steel wool remove the excess paint. There is no reason to sandblast a gun like this any more than you would sandblast a M1921 Colt. When you get mostof the excess paint off you've done no damage (sandblast) and you can re-evaluatewhen you see what you've got. And yes, leave the bar over the mag catch.

DZelenka Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Bob, The more I look at the gun, especially the inside, the more I believe it was factory finished with paint rather than parkreized with subsequent paint over the park. If it had been parked prior to painting, there would or should be areas where the paint was worn but the park remains. Of those, I can find none.

JMW-1955 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi Fellas, I have a refinish job going. Were the magazines & bodies of the grease gun different colors or the same? I was thinking of a flat OD. Many thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
