Well, I got this project pretty much wrapped up. The first picture was the "Before". This gun came from the old movie "Gunga Din". I had around fifteen of them to sort through, and this one had the best bore. After I scrubbed out the rust, dust bunnies, and cobwebs, I found it has a nice shiney bore. Looks much better as an Officer's Model Springfield!
I used Andy's Rust Blue, came out great. I steamed the metal, rather than boiling, SO much handier to do.
