Anvil 101: Walther P 38 Fire Recovery

How I remove the ersatz plastic that had melted through the action and gummed up the works......

Too much bla bla bla

[@danielgrove7782]

Im shocked...thanks for sharing. Looks like something i would try

[@danielgrove7782]

I'm surprised that is coming apart as well as it is

[@danielgrove7782]

I think old fasion carb dip will desolve plastic(and aluminium) don't hold me to it.

[@XuroX.]

Fuck that. Perfect candidate to wire wheel it down to bare metal then sand blast or fine sand paper it then refinish in whatever way you want.....

Acetone works great on a rag or spray it onor soak .

Thomas Edward Lawrence CB DSO, died on the 19th May 1935, so if that Walther was made in 1943, It's definitely NOT his ! ! LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Mark just used the proper downward firing angle of the p38…..

Excelente trabajo, me voy a guardar su video para ver como se puede desarmar la mía.. Tengo una CYQ comprada a un importador que las había traído de un arsenal ruso y trae esas mismas chachas de baquelita marrón... algunas traía unas cachas de aluminio pintadas de negro, pero yo no se las quise cambiar porque perdía originalidad el arma. Como es de los últimos ejemplares, tiene muy mala terminación externa, pero por dentro está muy bien terminada y funciona como un reloj de precisión... Muy bueno su video como siempre, saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina

Да это же русское, родное лицо. Прям сосед - дядя Миша, только гутарит на ненашенском наречии...

There must be something that dissolves melted Bakelite? I'm not sure what that is. Maybe there isn't. Dremel with tiny wire brushes? New springs all around?

[@jharchery4117]

Great

[@karlheinzvonkroemann2217]

Luckily I never had to disassemble my cyq to that extent. I did notice just how similar the P38 is to many pistols of recent manufacture.

Mr. Novak: can I gift you an ultrasound machine?

[@pcmacd]

I would have just soaked the sucker in kerosene for a week or so.

[@davidkirberger]

You dirty dog. I was just going to spend time with the wife then this popped up. She's ginna be mad....

[@CarlSanford76]
