Sandblasted most of my M170 frame today..

..and didn't find any numbers stamped but the usual frame part nos. It seems to have been painted gloss black, then OD, then undercoated after the body was on, then OD again. The undercoat had to be scraped off with a razor blade, the blaster wouldn't take it off easily. I found 2 minor stress cracks. I have used about 50# of sand so far and am about 60% done. Spent 6 hours on it today. I primered it as I went in case it rains.
