    Not that I can afford it;
    But if you were to sale this shotgun
    what would you have to have for it?

    I bought a 45 kentucky kit a few years ago at a flee market. Still in the box and plastic wrapped. It had a J C penny receipt with it fro 1974.

    You should cold brown or blue any double barrel as it may be soldered, standard procedure. Best cold brown is Laurel Mountain Froge and I ahve had fair luck with 44-40 blue. It would use a 690 round ball.

    I just happen to be in the business of putting such things together.....
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Mark Lee Express Blue from Brownell's. It is a cold blue but you have to boil it in water to stop the process but that wouldn't hurt the soldered barrels. The whole process only takes an afternoon and it looks great and doesn't rub off.
    The down side is that you have to have a tank big enough to boil the gun metal in. I bought a tank since I had several barrels to do and have several more projects pending.
