Very interesting to watch the process.

Definately make you rethink finding a basket case.

Definitely make you rethink finding a basket case.

Kinda makes me want to look for one honestly

Definitely turned out better than I expected. Would like to see the ignition controls, and that barrel probably is not going to be great

pretty cool, would be satisfying to see it get test fired if the barrel checks out

I would like to know what he tumbles the small parts in. It doesn't look like an abrasive.

Looked like glass bead, but I've seen him use other stuff

Looks like a save to me.

Looks like it functions pretty doggone good. Better than some brand new pistols.

I'll bet Mark Novak, of Anvil, would scream about the time he took the wire wheel to the frame and slide. It would have been interesting to see him do it in the same manner Mark Novak does which is first to conserve. Some of the guns that Mark Novak has worked looked like they were entirely unrecoverable, after they were boiled and carded, retained a shocking amount of polish and blue.

I couldn't tell what he used to blue the gun. With the other work he did, a nice rust blue job would have been interesting to see.
