Beyond redemption? I don't think so......

Will see if I still have the tin but iirc just an aerosol satin black.....

I do a lot of really bad condition relics in satin black, but now I am trying stove paint. Stove paint is a a grey black finish and you need heat to set it on hard. The next pitted old pistol that I am working on and can get into my oven in the kitchen. Some people may cringe as it is a collectable Haenel 100.

What a great job of restoreing such a rust bucket of a modern gun. and your mate did a great job also with that stock. it just shows what can be done.

Wow! Excellent resurrection!! And here's me thinking it couldn't get worse than Mick's "it's a bit rusty" 77!!!!

fantastic project well done I did a 77 a couple of years ago for a guy who was going to chuck his in the skip
rubbed her down and re-blacked (hot chemical blacking ) looked great when done will see if I can find some pics

Very nicely done ! & that stock looks nice too. Great save for stuff a bad pitted & damaged rifle, plus have you get any photos of the groups it can do ?
I love my hw77 from the 80's great rifles indeed.
