A Bayoushooter member told me about Flitz polish. Works really well without removing any metal. Grab some Harbor Freight polishing wheels for your drill. Most definitely make sure it's inert before you go building up a static charge in the thing. And pics?
Any one have any experience restoring one of these . It's been sitting in a garage for 20 yrs . Lots of surface rust .
Any advice here helps.
........I hope that thing is inert, meaning somewhere along the line the explosive material was removed..
I have a 75mm shell casing an uncle by marriage gave me. He said was fired in WWI by his father, i have no way of knowing that. He gave it to me when i was in high school, back about 1961-62. My father and i had an old wood lathe and i got a piece of 4x4 oak and i turned a "shell, or bullet piece" for it which looks quite attractive. The same uncle was a Msgt in USAF and got me a 57mm recoilless rifle practice round. It was a sub caliber piece, with a 30 cal and a 22 LR barrel for shooting at different distances. My father and I used the 30 cal barrel and made a lamp out of it
