Surely someone bessides me is looking for excuses to post a piture of their rifle..:p Harrington & Richardson, manufactured in 1955, bought from CMP in 2004/ Good Shooter! The bayonet was my Dad's, the one he was issued when he served in the Marines in the late 50's.

Well, I've finally finished the antiqueing of my new 1858 Remington. I managed to get some birchwood casey plum brown and over the Christmas weekend I browned the 58. The plum brown that I got said on the instructions to de-grease the metal and then heat the metal up to 275 degrees, so I took...
