Very nice professional looking refinish. Now it looks Good again. One note, though, I noticed the earlier suggestion of heating it super hot and doing the oil treatment to blue it...Personally, it may be just me, but I would cringe at the thought of applying a lot of heat to the receiver of a gun....I would question as to whether this would take the temper out of the steel and make for a danger piece ready to blow up when fired. Just a thought. William

well gent's i think these will be the last pic's for the thread. i had hoped for some sunshine here, but its foggy instead. so the natural lighting i was hoping for is crap. last nights pic's were a bit blurry. so i tried to do better today. i tried different lighting. i'm trying to show it clear enough. the last few pic's will be before and after shots. i hope you guys think i captured that "used" but well cleaned look. now i feel better about giving it to one of my boys. the other son can get the 44 DOT 98k.
thank you all for the nice feedback on my project. Andrew
