    That would be much appreciated, thankyou. I've got a 1/2 bottle of Tetra left and have done a grind on the bolt of a brno fox and trimmed the mag well for a 3 shot mag.

    Blueing prosess @Tuidog
    I use buchwood casy super blue
    Apparently it’s stronger than other options But you’re stuff should work but may require more coats

    1st remove all rust and finish from the parts part or Area you were going to re blue
    I like a wire wheel on my bench grinder (be gentle) just get it back to bright steel and no more
    For smaller parts birch wood casy blue and rust remover is bloody good just follow the instructions

    Don’t polish the parts the finish a wire bush leaves is perfect as long as you haven’t put deep scratches or gouges in it

    Clean the parts with alcohol it is very important that the parts are free of any trace of oil or Greece even the oil for your hands can affect it so I suggest you Wear gloves

    Wet a small rag with you blueing Solution And wipe the parts you want the parts to be damp with the solution

    Let the parts dry for about 5 minutes If it’s hot it will be quicker
    I actually put mine on the heater
    As the solution drys you will see a thin film of Oxidation (Rust) forming on the Surface sometimes white sometimes brown
    Once you have a very thin film over the hole part

    Wipe the film of with 0000 steel wool (it doesn’t take much)
    After you take the film off You can now see the colour
    Clean the part with Alcohol again and repeat the prosess
    Keep repeating the cycle until you reach the Colour you want you want
    And do it one more time for luck as it cures a little lighter

    Normally 3-4 cycles of clean, Solution, wait for the film, wipe with steel wool, clean and repeat

    Once you’re happy coat with a good rust Preventing oil use gun oil
    Not crc or anything silly i use lucas clp

    Keep it wet with oil for a couple of days as the steel absorbs a lot of oil and if it drys out it will rust and ruin the work

    Tip: for smaller parts such as screws i dip them in the Solution just pour some in the lid of the bottle
    Let the Solution drip off then let dry

    Tip 2: don’t do to much at once better off to do your parts in batches otherwise you end up leaving solution on to long etc etc It just gets stressful

    What’s the geuss on speed people
    I got given 40 rounds of factory ammo 20 federal and 20ppu Not in original boxes but looking at them id say 140’s
    Keeping in mind it’s got a 15-16 inch barrel Suppressed

    Its in getting thread changed from 5/8x24 To 1/2x20 can do this without shorting the barrel further and
    It was alot cheaper than new suppressor

    Once its back I’ll run it over the crony
    So just a bit of a friendly contest to see the best Geuss
    I’ll start im thinking 2100fps for the ppu
    And 2000fps for the federal
