Sorry these are the only two pictures worth posting I will take some more shortly after completion.
We color cased the action and charcoal blued the trigger guard and top lever.






Thanks for looking

Looks good so far, anxious to see rest.

Looks to be a Hunter Arms Co. Fulton Special

You and your students are getting some beautiful results. I'm still hoping that you can find the time to tell us about your methods and materials.

Don't think it's a Fulton Special, Drew. That was basically a dressed-up Fulton, and all the Fultons are very easy to spot because of the 3 screws in the floor plate of the receiver, which this gun does not have. I'm thinking Hunter Special, which was an entirely different (and more expensive) boxlock manufactured for a fairly short period of time, mid to late 1930's. It had a rotary top bolt like the LC Smith; the Fultons did not. However, as I read the serial number, that looks to be about a decade too early for a Hunter Special.

Looks like nice work. What method of preservation will you use to protect those nice case colors you applied? Do you lacquer your work after hardening? Anyone else have a recommendation on how to preserve and protect new case coloring?

Thanks for the nice comments and Yes we lacquer them.

Nice...Fultons were are generally under appreciated. I had 5 or 6, different bores...good guns...My Dad was a Fulton fan...

Larry - the Hunter Special was so marked, and the Fulton Special had the birdie
