$30 Project shotgun
Powder Keg:
Thanks Eric. When I get the wood done, I'll clean up the metal. The receiver is color case hardened. There are a bunch of tiny little rust spots. I'll remove them and oil it really good. Then I'll clean the barrel and re-blue it. It should look pretty nice when I'm done. I want to try and get some nice pictures of it at that point since it will be gone shortly after that.
Powder Keg:
I got the first round of sanding done tonight. I've heard that a good gun finish can take a week or more to apply. I'm going to try that.
Stay tuned....

Nice job on the shotguns. I have a friend that does wire inlay on his knives, it is really a nice touch and looks great also, he is probably one of the best at it that I have ever seen. He loves guns also, I can see if he would give you some tips. PM me if you are interested and I can send him your contact info.
Powder Keg:
Been busy playing with hammers and knives the last few days. I re-doodled my scrolls. I like the new ones better. I'll get a picture.
I've been looking at the first shotgun that I took apart. I have it completely disassembled now. There is a skill that I've been wanting to learn for a while now and I think this will be a good candidate to try it out on. I've been gathering stuff and information for a couple years now on Color Case Hardening. I'm going to attempt to do that to this shotguns receiver, hammer, and trigger. I'll be sure to document everything good for those that are interested.

Your doing a great job, and your giving me a few ideas on what to do on a couple of old beaten up shotties I have sitting next to the lazyboy, I for one am really interested in the color case hardening gig I think the effect is truly eyeball pleasing.
Keep up the good work old boy!!!! Anthony.
