Decision made on what direction I’m going to go with this gun. It’s going to be weird, and I probably won’t like it, so it will probably be redone...but...
At the time that the 10-6 was manufactured (1962 to 1977) the USA among other nations were in a clusterf...war in Vietnam. I know many men who served this nation in that era. My plan is to strip the finish off of this old gal, mirror polish it with Flitz, then give it my best attempt at a tiger stripe bluing job where I create darker shapes by using multiple layers of bluing. I’m not sure if I can do a wax-resist type system on it to give it definition, but I will give it my best shot. If that fails, it’s already mirrored and gets a few more layers of bluing. I might go ahead and try the wax resist setup just out of curiosity.
