Sorry for asking these questions on this board, but the people here are much more knowledgeable about such things.
I have recently come into possesion of a couple of Remington model 17 pump action shotguns. They are a lot of fun to shoot, and they handle beautifuly.
My questions are; what was the original finish on the wood of these guns, and is it true that they were rust blued?
Thanks very much, Pete Davis
