No problem, I’m here for youThank for your enthusiasm
Your turn. I got plenty of steel wool and oil..No problem, I’m here for you
See, your not so bad after all.. I knew I liked you for a reason...Ok, I’ll make a quick trip to Ohio tomorrow
I appreciate the insight. And thanks for the supportYou work at it until you are happy with the looks ...... or your arm s fall off or blind from flying parts !
There are easier ways to do what you are doing but you will need to buy the right equipment to do that . It all depends on how interesting you find the work . My shops have been growing for years with all the different treasures & rescues I have taken on . A few bucks here & there for things add up to thousands over the years . The pride in your work after done is all worth it .If you keep the project around ..... you can always go back to it & make it better as your skill increases . Those same skills will transfer over to other things too .
Example :
My mom was refinishing a spool cabinet & the hardware looked bad ...... she could have painted them ...... or have he son polish them & gold plate them . I have the equipment so in a day she had her shinny gold parts back to put on her project .
The tools don't know if it is a gun part or a spool cabinet & they still do make the job a lot easier .

You can do what ever you are willing to learn to do PJ .I appreciate the insight. And thanks for the support
Ron, you are a special breed, your a down to earth straight forward honest, in a respectful way kinda person. I appreciate your concerns and motivation on my project.(thank you)... I have been working on it. Barrel portion, outside surface (so far) to me cleaned up real nice. Keep in mind, I travel for work once and awhile. This i deemed a travel project. I'm in no rush to get it done. But assured, something will become of it. I have NO info on it. NO info on how to take it down. I am a mechanical kinda person. I'm not shy to dig in at a project. (Example). Rebuilt a hydraulic cylinder, that is bigger then me(see pix), with only a drawing to service it? Oh ya, the seals were 30k... No pressure there.... I was able to remove the slide lock arm, the slide did move a lil more forward towards the muzzle, but it hits something solid.. Trying to figure out what to do next.. But yes I'm still tinkering with it.. I really need tear down help!!You can do what ever you are willing to learn to do PJ .
You can always count on me to tell you ...... it looks like crap !
If you keep it fun & interesting it is a great hobby .
If it ticks you off or turns to to much work ...... let it set a bit ...... then with a better mindset you can go back at it again .
Then again all this advice comes from a guy in flip flops that plays around on big equipment & has fun doing it with a pepsi in hand .![]()

Yes. I believe the sequence was. Lock slide back, rotate barrel, slide barrel forward a little bit, rotate barrel back to starting position, then the barrel pulled out the rest of the way.And don't be in a hurry to get it done.
Once ya had it locked back did you turn the barrel counter clockwise?
Do it in a boxTo be honest, I'm coming to a loss. I'm not sure what to do next. I haven't removed the grips yet. Because I'm nervous about a previous comment about springs flying out..
Yes, with hopes to catch flying objects... Yes a box may contain flying parts. And gives a great place to store it. But, still gotta get the tiny bugger back together.. HOW!!! LMAO..Do it in a box
