The
metal parts of the rifle had been painted
during the FTR and were painted an olive
drab color.
The Brits and Australians felt that a painted
finish on a battle rifle was more durable
than bluing and often painted rifles.
Here's some of the original paint that was
covered by the wood.
I decided to repaint it to factory condition
again.
I used DuraCoat and sprayed all metal parts
to original color.
I even polished the brass butt plate. |
