Hi, Does anyone have any thoughts on the restoration of a "broomhandle mauser?" There are a few people who do this but I am extremely hesitant to send out the gun due to the mixed reviews I have read about the outfits. My "Red 9" is in shape that I think I can do it. The barrel is in excellent condition so the work would be refinishing. A fellow told me a good restoration is when only an expert can tell the gun has been fooled with. Has anybody done any restoration they can discuss and reveal any techniques they uncovered? So far I have spent time finding out what finishes and colors came from the Mauser works on this particular contract. The guy who told me what little he knew about restoration said you are a failure if the piece looks like jewelry when you finish.
Thank you.
Thank you.
