Finnally got it sanded down. 
Look at the awesome finish on those internals with just a little degreaser on em 
The internal lock mechnisms sitting in that evil hole on the side 
Look at that magwell they lef thuge ridges in it to help hold in the mags 
and right after these pictures were taken I placed an order to brownells for instant blue and an action kit from cylinder and slide. then my microscopic 80 series Firing Pin Plunger Spring got snagged on the ejector and flew away. I had already placed the order now ill haft wait till I get a bigger order together to get the gun back together  .

Why does this remind me of the Old saying about polishing a turd.  Well Ill agree with you on the quality of parts that went into it, Even Though its operated for a couple thousand rounds without a jam using wilson 47ds. But the frame is worth saving after a visit from the file, its as solid as imbel forgings come. |

I sincerely wish you well with the project and hope it turns out well.

yeah im trying the insta blue from brownells 44/40,  its says wipe on wipe off we shall see.Cold blue has it's place, but it's not meant to refinish an entire firearm. I'd opt for Gun Kote over Park myself. Kitchen Stove Parkerizing DIY Home Parkerizing GUNPLUMBER'S GUIDE TO HOME PARKERIZING GUN KOTE VIDEO |

Would it be possible to get some better (in focus) shots of the internals and the frame with the trouble spots you've identified more clearly visible.?
Check to see if your camera has a macro setting. That, or back up a little from the subject and shoot the pic. Then post links to the hi-res images and I can crop them down for you. Good luck with the project, I look forward to seeing how it turns out. |

I just got this Canon Powershot A590 I dont know how to use it yet, but ill get some more pics up but it wont be until monday I begin my 5 12s today. and SGB what are the main downfalls of using cold blue over gun kote? Does it wear prematurley or flake? |

How durable is GunKote? I sprayed some of my Kimber parts with it, and after CCWing it for a while it tends to wear off. If you degrease well, and heat the parts before spraying and bake it the correct temp and time it does alright but to get the best wear you really need to beadblast before you spray the parts. |

Does it wear prematurley or flake? I've got a powershot. Just push the bottom of the wheel to the right of the screeen where it displays the flower symbol with MF beside it. The screen should cycle through Auto-Macro-and Manual for the focus settings. Put it on macro and take the close up shots. David |
