I have a few RC Mausers. My question is that.... would it be a good idea to strip off the black finish and re-blue it? to more of a correct blue that would look more like it would during the war?
thanks

I would say to each his own, but I personally consider the Russian modifications to a part of the rifle's history. I am leaving my RC K98 as is.
The best way to spice up RC Mausers is to buy an original sling, cleaning rod, and sight hood for it. I have done that for mine as these parts are removable. But like I said, they are yours so do with them what you want. This is just my way of going about it.
I have done that some what... but my friend who is gun nut is saying to reblue it...... but i want more opinions.
thanks obkrieger for your input.
My take on things is the same as Mo's.
Cheers, Ade.
Thanks ade for your take to and also for the title change.

I would leave them as is-you're not really reversing some civilian knuckheads 'bubbarizing' of a service weapon-many guns are modified/overhauled during their lives-my little French Berthier carbine has had at least 5 mods done between the wars as a standard type.
