I put an extended safety and a Cylinder & Slide hammer and sear in my LW. The poor pistol was painted at some point in it's life. They didn't do a very good job of it. I stripped the slide, removed the paint and reblued it myself. It turned out great IMO. Now I need the aluminum frame to look as nice. What would you experts recommend I do with the frame?
Nice work on the slide. If I were you I’d browse the Brownell’s catalog for aluminum refinishing products. Maybe Cerakote or something similar. Also, I was able to figure out that LW means Light Weight, but RA has always meant Regular Army to me. Sometimes it means Rhodesian Army. Is that a Rhodesian High Power?
I have answered this question on several other forums....my light weight Hi Power was given a nice new Cerakote finish after bead blasting parts, the finish is long wearing and looks exceptionally nice.
