    HW35E restoration

    I bought this sorry looking 35E last week. As you can see its had a hard life. Stripped it down and started to polish the metalwork down in preperation for reblacking. Reblacked it today and getting really excited to see the outcome when rebuilt and stock refurbed.









    Cheers

    Thanks for replies.
    No bud, its hot chemical blacked. I won't bother with cold blues as they just seem to put a coating on rather than have a reaction to the carbon in the steel.
    Cheers.

    Ive done a couple of re-furbs on '35s and I seem to enjoy shooting them more than ones I bought off the shelf.

    Well done.
