    airsporter restoration shiney, shiney

    hi guys, finally finished an airsporter i've been working on so thought i'd show it off a bit
    this was a real pig when i got it, rusted beyond buggery, seized and looking like it had been used as a bat.
    well, i think you get the general idea.
    now cocks and shoots sweetly and doesn't look too bad either

    Very nice!!

    Another one saved from the scrap heap


    I presume you used a blowlamp or heatgun for the stock??


    I once finished an airsporter stock with a butane pencil type blowlamp, I put Tiger stripes in to it..

    I didn't take any pics of the gun itself but it's the third gun along from the left in this pic..

    Top job! Quick question, how do you stop the metal from rusting again?
