Ever think of putting some lacquer stik on other weapons? Yesterday I did. I put it on some hunting guns. On an old Winchester '97, I got an odd result. The gold stik shows up as more white than gold; but is very nice looking, and it shows up on the lettering very well. It's results must be from the metalurgy of the Winchester and the type of bluing they used???
Anybody know the answer or have similar results?
thanx
jack

From your comment, I have to wonder if the stick material is not reacting with the bluing...
