The receiver housing MG42, will need to be oxidized soon. Parkerization with phosphate, or the original oxidation method. It should look like it was done by the German plant in 1942.
To prepare a solution according to the Buturlin method, you will need to prepare a saturated solution of copper sulfate. For every 250 grams of vitriol, add 5-6 drops of sulfuric acid. Put the metal in a bowl with a solution and keep it there until it resembles red copper in color. After that, we remove the weapon from the solution and wash it in clean water. At the end of rinsing, drain the liquid, and thoroughly rinse the container.
