Easier said than done, if that's duracoat it may need glass bead blasting to remove. I have a little Beretta 70 that was done and couldn't get it to lift after soaking in acetone...Quote:

I used to paint a lot of it for friends, because I used to paint cars, and I have a professional Trinco blast cabinet.
So I would spray them heavily with brake cleaner to clean the oil off, sand blast them, and then painted them.
I used to do a lot of cerakote too, which you would put in a oven to bake. Cerakote is way harder than even duracoat.
is the stock an A4 stock I could not tell from the picks
Thanks Steve for the note on the shims. I was not aware of these. I think I have found the correct shims, or I could probably make one, or two. I will wait until I get the scope mounted and see how it lines up. I see by the text you sent that they may be used in the front or back, depending on how the original scope lined up.
I also see now that the bolt I have is not right. I am looking for a proper one, or try to alter mine.
Yes it is. You can see the cutout in the stock under the bolt handle.Quote:

I bought an 03A4 through the DCM in 1970 or '71. It came with two thin brass shims.

concerning the shims, I have found a set of two (apparently original) for sale on line. Also, Numrich offers them (new) in two thicknesses; .015 and .020. I intend to get the scope mounted and then see if and where they are needed.
