As a long time lurker I've absorbed loads of useful information from you guys and hopefully I can give something back. I recently purchased a Savage 1861 Navy revolver at auction which had been stripped to the white metal. Other than the lack of any finish it's in great condition. Disassembly was a cinch and I'm very impressed with the overall build quality. This thing is over engineered and of a very high quality. The lever action is ingenious and actually a very simple design. I'm about to give it a good clean and refinish and will post progress here.
Rather than bluing it I'm going for Birchwood Casey plum brown. Wish me luck!
