We are looking forward to seeing it. Just remembering the first time I came to your house in Burnsville and supper, that has to be around 35 years ago. I was envious or your work then and still am!

OP Jim Westberg Sidelock Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 72 Minneapolis	Finishing the rifle will be about like this: Rust blued barrel Niter blued trigger guard, tips and toes, and the screws Color hardened action, trigger plate and lever. I like to soften the color hardening just a bit using a "Q" tip and Semichrome polish very sparingly. This seems to mute the 'in your face' look of new colors. Jim
