Exterior weld cleanup.
Using aluminum oxide abrasive 2" disc's and my air die grinder on exterior welds. It can knock it down quickly but if you are not careful it can cause you extra work. I will get it cosmetically OK but will not really finish it until I have successful test fire and function.
Now I move to the inside of the receiver to recut all the slots that are welded shut.
I plan to parkerize & paint the receiver.

I hope that he won't mine me saying but Brian at BDL has the UK spec parkerising process off to a fine art and as I understand it, also has the UK spec sunkorite spirit based heat resisting paint. An L4 gun deserves it.....
A friend of mine reminded me a couple of weeks ago that in UK Naval service, what killed the L4A3 and 5 guns eventually was the press-in gas cylinder. Mind you, those navy recruit types were probably flogging the same old guns to death day after day, week in and week out!

The large number of Brens I've seen have huge gaps in some of the inside welded areas. You do good work, Very Nice!!
