WA SVI 5" Restoration

[SlowEddy]

Hi All, Here are a few Pics of my WA SV5". I picked it up used a few months ago at the buy/sell section. It was well used by the previous owner and the frame was pretty warn out. so I Bead-Blasted the frame


Here it is when I first got it



Dual tone: with just the slide Bead-Blasted



End result: Full frame blasted




btw does anybody know where i can get an extra Mag spring and WA part 48 (magazine follower)
one of my mags came apart during a game

Nicely done, looks like a new gun now! That silver looks a lot better than that glossy black, even if it WAS new.

is the blasting hard to do?? does it require much skill??
and is that a plastic or metal slide??

actually, I have a spare of those if you want, the problem with the follower is the little nub to pull down is a bit worn, so makes it a bit difficult to pull it down, but other than that is should work. PM me and we can arrange a meeting date.
