And this time... Its MINE!
Going to stripe the living hell out of the stock, make it a lighter brown, then lay down stripes.
For the metal trim, I will french blue it. Basically cold blue the steel parts, then take bleach soaked paper towels, wrap the barrel and let it go to work on a nice gray/blue aged look. Mustard I heard is another way of doing this.
I will also polish the lock and trigger works, bed the tang,trigger and the entire barrel channel.
Rear sight will be replaced with something solid. I most likely will use what CVA used on their bobcat model, just open up the slit a little to let more light in and she'll be good.
I also have a new way to age brass that I want to try out with vinegar and ammonia, so we will have some fun there and hope the brass is still there when I open it up. About a 2-3 day process.
Also going to look into thinning the lock panel a bit. Just thrown off by the cut out behind the hammer.
A little brass tacking here and there perhaps?
