Renegade Restore

[Sharps40]

Last boil...dried and carded and while its still screaming hot from the boil, a rag thoroughly saturated in Rig and Hoppes 9 oil is run down the bore and all over the exterior. The barrel will be left to rest over night allowing grease/oil to fill all the pores. Final assembly and photos in the morning.

Rust is good. Don't let anybody fool ya. (And this my friends is a 120g finish, it'll satin up when the excess oil/grease is wiped away. It'll be lovely.)

Completed. Not factory new but things like loose and cracked wood, no shape, external rust, cleaning and function check, fresh bluing, etc...all completed. A couple coats of wax shy of storage. Perhaps a day at the range soon to see how round balls fly, pretty straight and true I suspect. But, other than that ready to go home.

GOing to take a stab at refinishing my rifle stock. Did it in the 80`s last time with straight true oil. Too light, going to darken it up this time around.
