Gunning for change!

So you can see for yourself, the re-bluing project is now complete; and, it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.  It was a little bit touch-and-go once we decided to sandblast in lieu of sanding.  Note to future re-blu’ers – sandblasting isn’t the best medium to remove the old stain as it get inside the gun and makes the mechanisms very difficult to operate due to the grit factor.  Though, with a little extra time and a ton of WD-40 and machine oil, I brought it right around.  As good as new if you ask me.  Next up…CHP.  Me and my coworkers will be applying and taking the class, together.  Word to the wise; don’t cut me off in traffic – just kidding!
