Here is another one I did: a Remington 511 Scoremaster, the owner brought me the parts about 3/4s polished, so I finished the polishing, blued them and painted the ready-fire and safe indicators as well as did some nitre bluing on some small parts
This is the result

Thanks guys! I really do appreciate your appreciation and as always I hope to inspire others to take up the cause of saving rusty, beat-up or neglected guns.

Another refinishing project, this one a Winchester model 97



One thing I learned is that the finish on these old guns is not as smooth as people believe them to be. Bluing does hide some of that. Anyway, this gun belonged to a family member who passed away, I was asked to refinish it for whomever was going to inherit the gun. It is a 12 gauge, take-down made in 1926
