I sanded the frame down to 320 grit. Since I don’t have a big polishing wheel I figured I would do something different. So I am giving my tumbler a try for a bit. See how it cleans up any sanding marks.

I am not super crazy about the finish. I might have went to fine for metals used to make the components. So I will let them sit for awhile in oil. And decide if I want to run it the way it is or sand down and start over.
Keep the pictures coming, this is awesome.
So I read directions.....and at times still try thing my way.....such as sanding up to 400 grit when the product says not to go over 320. I have had a few that took color, only old 22 rifles. This gun falls in with the norm that did not. So unless I want this really funky look I will sand it down to either 240 or 320 grit. I like to try to achieve a somewhat finer finish if possible. You don’t know until you try. The sight took color pretty good. Barrel has a purple tint to it. The cylinder has a wide array of colors.
Hoping to finish this up next week. Been tied up helping my parents with some medical issues. If all goes well it will be finished sooner than later. Family first.
I haven’t abandoned the project. Between helping my parents and overtime schedules at work, the gun will have to just sit idle until I have time.
Another member in here was interested in the gun the way it was. So it now has a new home. Assembled and delivered today.
