Good Stuff, Go with the brass barrel for sure.  I think it would also add a little heat to the guns look by giving all the exposed aluminum a pewter/black iron type finish and then only the smallest chrome accents.

Yeah, I was thinking of wire brushing the aluminum parts really hard until they form kind of a layer of lumpy looking stuff. I dunno, I might still do it, Id like to corrode the aluminum somehow and make it look really old and antique when its all assembled and done, but I havent found any good way to do it.

I might just haul a piece of aluminum into school and toss it in the sandblaster and see how much punishment it will take before it looks old and antiqued.

Try salt to oxodize the aluminum.  It does wonders to aluminum on snowmobiles

You could put some gnarly scratches in the aluminum with a wire brush then salt it down.

I can see a whacky looking flip-up iron site or some old school Christopher Columbus scope on it.

Definately on the list.

I sandblasted the gripframe today, it took ages with the cloggy sandblaster at school but it looks awesome, really matte gray finish.

Ill try the salt idea on a chunk of scrap and see how it works. Ive got some super strength ice-melt stuff laying around, Ill try mixing it with a bit of water and letting the part soak in it for a day or so.

cold temperature anodize (Type III Mil-Spec) will give the aluminum a dark grey color , 28 Deg F , 15% sulphuric / balance DI water , will give great corrosion protection too .

Looks real good so far !

I wouldn't soak the entire part for internals sake.  I'd carefully wipe some salty water on the outter surface.  Salt will pit the aluminum
