I have heard similar things and I think there is a bit of a misconception between best/safe practice and actual law. This made me unsure so I thought I'd start the discussion here.

Nope no de-activated firearms involved. It is more to replace broken parts that are no longer in production. For example firing pins, trigger springs etc etc. There are only so many second hand parts avaliable. And perhaps a modified stock (maintaining the minimum lengh).

Thanks, I'll do just that.

Just had a thought I think I know the answer to but I am not sure. What are the laws on making your own gun parts or having them made by a non gunsmith? I know serialised and pressure bearing components are off limits does that make the rest of the parts ok to remanufacture?

When reassembling my trigger group I noticed my trigger spring is broken, does anyone have one of these kicking around?

Nice auto 5

Welcome

The one that annoys me the most it's the latest trend when making a phone call on a mobile phone by putting it on speaker and holding it 2 inches front of their face and shouting at the phone. So everyone gets to hear the whole telephone conversation

I was unsure myself in the beginning. I was initially going to do rust bluing but I simply don't have the time this is much quicker. Boiling hot sodium hydroxide is no joke and must be treated with caution.

It's one I made up myself it's not expensive for small parts but can get pricey for large parts. I think up to this point I have spent around £40 on chemicals. But the solution can be used again again. The recipe and guide is explained very well in this video.

Once more into the devil's broth. Shiny silver parts in, black shiny parts out.

Thank you for the offer but its actually the stock that I may need a replace, I will give my forend a good inspection and should I find something wrong on it I'll contact you.

Thanks, I have used hot caustic bluing so in theory the durability should be just as good as the factory finish. Time will tell

I am in the process of fixing up a Browning Auto 5 and decided to do some hot bluing. After removing all the rust/origional blue and plenty of polish. Here are my results sofar.

I thought it was a browning
