Newbie here.
I found a couple of vintage XM3 bipods with Colt markings (riveted not c-clip) and there is surface rust on them up near the rivet point (which seems typical), but my question is I'm thinking of refinishing them to the authentic color/finish. If I buy them they're $70ea, and then getting them refinshed. Good idea ? What was the original color and finish used on them ? I'm assuming it's not as simple as taking a spray can to them (God forbid). Any suggestions on where I can get this done at (contact infor whould be great !!) Or is it not worth it and I should look for better parts ? Thanks in advance. |
| Gunnyssurplus has them for $40 with nylon pouch and possibly no rust. Should be easy enough to clean though. Some like him and some don't. He has always sent me what I ordered unlike many vendors out there. I'd recommend a call before hand. Might even get one without a rivet if desired. |
