Thank you Brian,
Actually, the first couple of posts in this thread are from 2010 for another person. I was trying to determine which finishes are done on each part and did a search on the website and found it. That said, you appear to say something interesting above about the buttplate and grip cap screws being case color hardened. I wouldn’t have expected that.
As an aside, Brian, this is the same VH grade 12 bore gun where you repaired a tang crack, hiding the pin in the checkering and then refinished the the stock and the for-end wood. When you had the gun apart you found that there was a lot of internal rust due to an ancient duck hunting pond dip by the original owner - you cleaned and lubricated it for me. Barrels are now nicely blued, so next steps are to do the niter bluing of parts and possible case color hardening of other parts. Thanks
- Doug
