    Very nice, what media did you use for your bead blast?

    I am using a medium smooth grade glass bead from MSC (60-120 grit)........I tried the Harbor Freight crushed glass they call glass bead, but was unhappy with the results of the performance and finish.

    Sarco select
    Looks like they are OOS at Sarco....

    Found the same repro on Gunbroker for a few bucks more but sill substantially less than a real one...the black shiny paint on the blade will have to go.....and yours is a good idea to parkerize it at the same time as the gun.........
