Marauder Restyle Part Duex

[Sharps40]

Front band is final sculpted and fitted. I think, since I have to rust blue the lever, I will rust blue both bands. Barrel looks pretty decent outside and I don't want the bands to detract from the appearance.

Comeing along. Guts cleaned and inspected and back in place. All is well on the back end. Front end about to go together....working slow thru a bit of a feaver....9 airplanes in 12 days of travel and thousands of choke and pukes coughin on ya and I come home a bit ill. But, 80's punk on the record player and a lovely day to work on a gun....

With the forend magazine installed, a tour of the front half. Not attractive wood at all....but the blue is still good and I'll only be rebluing the lever. As for the rest of it, a good cleaning and this rifle come Marauder Carbine starts to show its stuff.

The hard part is getting anything to rust in the winter. But for small parts a hot cup of water in a small box and in moments, the first color starts to bloom up on the lever...

For now, the first bloom of rust is comin on slow but pretty steady.
