Hi Stu, I got my cases, barrels and head soda blasted. Its taken the cases back to bare metal perfectly, because the head and barrels had been painted black at some point the blasting has removed the paint but its like the alloy itself have been stained by the paint. Anyway, ill paint them black again and if nothing else the blasting has done all my prep work for me.
Cheers, Jamie
