So I had a little time today between clients. I hit the metal parts with a little oil and steel wool. I made sure I used a very light touch and let the wool work on the rust without harming the finish. Everything cleaned up pretty nicely. The barrel has some areas where the bluing has gone and there’s some minor pitting, but overall I’m happy with how this part has turned out so far. My only regret is not taking before pictures of each piece.
Probably all that I’ll get to today. Plan is to strip the wood tomorrow evening. Stain and linseed Saturday. Then reassemble Sunday. If I could find a box of dang 16 gauge lead shot, it shoot it too, lol. I’ve got a couple feelers out for that so we’ll see what comes of it.
