It looks to be an oil finish, but the pores are not all filled. I will probably take on the project Dave did. It looks great, Dave. You did a fine job, IMO.

I do think it is a true .410 receiver. I've got to give it a good cleaning this afternoon and I will measure the receiver. I do know that when I look at the underside of the receiver the thing that strikes me is how tiny it looks.

George, I understand your reluctance to the lil' gun on game, but the key is distance. A .410 kills the same way any other gauge kills .......... by density. The velocity of the shot is the same, the weight of the individual shot pellets are the same, and if you close in your maximum distances to shoot, the density can be the same. Given that, what could the difference be? Sufficient density in the pattern with a .410 just means doing the deed at closer range than bigger gauge guns. A dove centered at 25 yards with it is just as dead as a dove centered with a bigger payload.
