this is a work in progress.
This is my uncles gun, it's the old style Rossi .22 pump gallery gun with no safety pre 50s-60s I think? needless to say it needed help... we're talking about a gun that went through katrina stored in a carry-case. while the "gun was not in water the humidity was like 300%?".... but anyhoo it recently was decided to get it re-painted and re-done... So here I am. Btw there was not a single damn thing that was not rusted or pitted... the internals were a joke but I managed to save them. pins had to be replaced though. I always change to stainless pins anyway.
The stock had a cheap VERY dark stain in it and spray on poly clear coat..... removed all that crap and re-stained the wood, added alot of contrast, some fake/style grains, 4 colors and currently on it's 12th coat of tru-oil. "pics of the finished work soon"
I'll post some "after sandblasting" and "after filled and basecoated" pics soon.
Before stain and after bleaching and stripping
after stained,dyed,highlighted,contrast but BEFORE top coated with oil
