Tips Needed For Removing Dents

**Doco overboard** · 02-28-2019 08:00 PM

I have used a Wagner wall paper steamer with the wand removed to raise dents that wouldn't quite lift with an iron. I never went as far as to adapt a air hose fitting to concentrate the steam to a really small spot though.

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.

Doco,
I stumbled on and have now lost a post here where someone mentioned a Air compressor fitting that attached with no problems to their Wagner steamer.

FWIW

A wet course cotton terry towel placed over a dented area (with no torn wood fibers) run over with a hot steam iorn has worked quite well for me.
