Title: Ball Burnishing your PK Ripper
Post by: hotdog on December 17, 2011, 06:53 PM

Saw this over on the museum,a guy restoring his Ripper and getting it Ball Burnished by the original SE sub-contractors... relatively inexpensive too.

It'd be good to see if they ship international.

That turned out well...  :daumenhoch:

Better than polishing the welds smooth attempting it yourself...  :idiot2:

Nice job  8) welds are still bang on  :4_17_5:


Must be because it's just been re done and in time should dull a tad  :daumenhoch:







Cause mine isn't  that shiney

That's pretty cool being done by the same factory.

I remember seeing one BITD that looked like it had been polished with wire wool which is what i thought was ball burnished. Or is that just my old memory failing me again  :crazy2:
