The one at the top is an IHP 35 in .22 cal, gifted to me by my father 20 years back.
The second one below is side lever in .22 cal, made in India, it has a marking ESA Model-, bought by me some 16 years back.

Both these AR, were kept in one of our house, that was subject of litigation for last 10 years. So they were unattainded for about a decade. I managed to get them back few days back.
I want to restore them. Very sorry to say but DIY is not an option for me, to be honest I just have a screwdriver and and electricians pakkad at home to name as tools.
Friends I wish to get them reblued and change the washer spring etc. The stocks appears to be ok.
Kindly suggest,
Which parts to change?
What brand of spring, piston seal etc to be used that are easily available in Mumbai?
What kind of blueing to go for , from the gunsmith?
Apart from these ,any other suggestions are most welcome

Regards.

May be its not in production, even the manufacturer closed down. You know the Indian senario about guns.
Now just on lighter note,
Is there any AR with side lever in production in India, if not then I have a classic with me

Happy to be an IFG'an, to find friends like you.

Regards.
