Hi, again, Friends. I spent some time cleaning what I will call the "receiver frame" today and also the right barrel. I believe this mystery coating is along the lines of a dark shellac, because alcohol seems to do the best job of taking it off. As you all know, it is a time consuming process, but I was pretty fascinated while doing it. The frame is not quite ready for its glamor shot yet, but it's close. It's cleaning up nicely. The barrels have a way to go before another photo. If any of you have a nice photo showing how a set of "laminated steel" barrels should look, I would sure appreciate seeing it. I do NOT want to over-clean this puppy.
Thanks to all,
Patrick
