Well I got started...

Had a used 58 and decided to go for it. Did a search on this forum on how to do it. Used the vinegar/paper towel method. Took longer than I thought! The bluing was tough! Still have some things to do. Going to patina the brass, put some plum brown on it and stain the grips.

I really like the pics you all have posted showing your pistols done this way!

I especially like the blotchy appearance the vinegar gives it.





I want to defarb it as well. Suggestions?

Many thanks gents!

Birch
