I am interested in pictures of the re-blue process and how it turns out.
I have an older Stevens that I want to restore.

Thanks,

Very nice restoration.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
How many total hours would you guess it took?
I have a Stevens that I want to restore and your post provides encouragement.
