I know esq told you to post in the black rifles forum but you are honestly better off in milsurps...just have a mod move the thread

good luck with your venture :)
 
By MP40, do you mean a stamped metal ww2 era German sub machinegun? How bad is the rusting? Do you have any photos of the damaged areas?

Also, is it an MP38, MP38/40, MP40, MP41, MP40/I or MP40/II. All are similar but lsightly different. Some are made of different types of metal and must be worked on differently (ie some are made of milled steel, others are stamped and welded)

I'd be happy to help with good advice, but much of the value of these guns is in their originality and I think I'll need photos to recommend the least intrusive way to restore it to presentable condition.

If you have trouble posting pics, e-mail them to me: claven2@milsurps.com and I'll post them for you.
 
Will post picture as soon as I have the autority to dou it! that can be tomorow or sooner :) first thing I will do is take picture.
