Nice job! I look for those old worn out or neglected Winchesters and Marlins to do a similar refinish job like you have done. The goal is to give me a nice looking original example and hopefully gives the firearm another 100 years of life. Thank you!

I basically saved an 1861 musket from the crusher. It had been stripped, painted and sporterized. It was possibly the worst candidate for any kind of restoration you ever seen. Guys on forums were howling that I was destroying the guns true history. ( A history I might add that was basically going to destroy it for good. ) I took the gun down to the finish. I spent months aquiring all the correct parts for the gun from antique gun dealers all over the country. I did hrs of research on period correct finishing techniques for both the wood and the metal parts. When I was done I had a very good sympathetic restoration or a very old firearm that will make it presentable for generations to come. The best part? It fires! It fires good shot groups at 50 yards! Not great, but good! Keep at it. Stay true to the gun. Can't wait to see it when it's done!

if you boil old guns it will convert rust to blueing. but you need to buff off the orange rust powder with 0000 steel wool or a carting wheel

I don't know how to react to this. I appreciate what you are doing but at the same time I cringed when you sanded off the original finish. I respect it even if it makes me a little sad at the same time. I like to think about it like this. If I ever bought an old muscle car to restore it would have a modern ignition, radial tires, a good stereo and an air conditioner. I don't care if it wasn't original. That being said, I would never take a perfectly restored vintage car and modernize it. Anyway, nice video part 3 is waiting for me now. Keep up the good work.
