The barrels were blued. The receiver and side plates were case hardened. The black walnut stock had a nice shine, possibly lacquered. Geo, Good catch. http://www.thestockdr.com/Pete

Thanks Pete. Were the barrels rust blued? I was on the stock doctor site over lunch and will check them out. Especially for this Parker double I have that is cracked at the wrist.

The stocks were shellacked. You can rub it out with denatured alcohol. Bullseye amber is a perfect match.

PS: yes the barrels were rust blued, that is what Petem meant. Pretty much all doubles are rust blued because the solder can't take the hot blue process - something to look out for when you are buying refurbished guns.

Thanks Judge. Having done more reading now, I realize that my question didn't really make sense. I was getting confused between rust bluing and browning.

rust bluing and rust browning are the same process...the only difference is the boiling that turns the brown too blue b4 carding off loose rust....

Yeah, I finally figured that out. Amazing what a little reading will do for a person.
On another note, I received my box of parts that I one off Ebay. Have to go through them to pull what I need. I have my fingers crossed that they will interchange since they are from a 12 ga.

Well it didn't take long to see that things weren't going to go as I hoped although it was as I expected. Some of the parts are interchangeable (I think) and others are obviously off. The 12 ga receiver (which I don't have) is taller and wider. I'm hoping that with additional research I'll be able to figure this out.
Does anyone have any pictures they could provide of the receiver assembly for a late model gun? I'm curious how the various components went together, hoping that it's similar between gauges.

I think this is a killer find. Lemme know if you decide to double your money.  What kind of barrels? I've mostly seen damascus on Meriden guns.

Hey Dawg, just saw your post. I'm hopeful that I can get this thing up and shooting but I don't think it's going to be easy. The barrels are steel. Not sure if you saw my post over on the main forum? http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...2071#Post432071I appreciate the offer to double my money. 20+ years ago I took it to a gunsmith to see what some work would cost. Said he'd give me $150 for the gun. Who knows, maybe I should have taken it. Kirk
