Remington Rand mixmaster refinish help

[limaxray]

I think It looks great the way it is. Clean it up rub some oil on it and you got a good blue collar workers gun(you know a "Soldiers Pistol")Just the way I like em. Most likely a well used historical war gun.
But if you want to learn it some manors and dress it in a tux? That's ok too.

The pictures do the gun too much justice. In person and natural light it looks ROUGH. And it's bare metal in too many spots--I'm in the South, and I have to go back every couple of weeks and scrub some surface rust off. Nio, this baby needs to be protected.

I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Looks like it has either been dip blued or cold blued to cover up the wear. A good candidate for a refinish, as no old soldier would want to look like that.

I only looked at the pics on my iPhone and just took a look on my sons iPad and I agree with you it certainly doesn't look to be original worn finish. Go for it!
