Fix It Or Part It Out? Long

Fire blue? Ya mean heating it up with a propane torch and plunging into oil...not very scientific, I should actually do it with an oven and a thermometer to do it right....

It was fun to experiment though..

And now to make it worse, my engraver friend (guild engraver ) came in..looked at the beginnings and he has visions of oak leaves and other germanic motifs in his head...

Like oak leaves and acorns deep cut up front and backstrap...he did my hi power with scroll and he knows what he is doing...

Of course, now he is talking about me slowly removing ALL the pits...and he wants a 400 finish on the surfaces to be engraved...Of course nothings happening till I gets me a breech block
