    A dent puller won't fix that. And a hammer will probably finish the job. $82 paperweight. Geezuz.
    "...orangish/brown, a little bit of purple, spots of yellow..." That's patina. Latin for rust.[COLOR="black"]
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    No, that's a weak solution of bluing salts. I've seen lots. There's also likely a high nickle content which can also turn it a purple color. It's evident in the picture. Also evident is the polishing wheel work. It's not rust.

    Sunray,
    No easy way to say this but to just drop in on you... YOU COULD'T BE MORE INCORRECT
    That Receiver is currently up to $92.00 plus $20 shipping along with any FFL Transfer cost.
    As I type this, time remaining 21Hrs .

    Maybe someone plans to squeeze it in a vice to get it straight and believes the hype that 'Gorilla Glue' can fix anything.

    Seriously; I hope no one gets hurt on this one..........

    I don't know why someone would pay that for a useless item. Then again my paperweight is machine stamped. I doubt anyone looking at it will know what it is.
