[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1407681, member: 8980"] I recently had the opportunity to do a complete restoration on a pretty old single shot Stevens .22 rifle. This rifle was in pretty poor condition and was severely rusted and pitted when the owner (a member of this forum who will remain nameless unless he chooses to claim it) brought it to me. The first thing I did was a little scrubbin' with 0000 steel wool to remove what rust I could, here are the results: [attach=full]84156[/attach] [attach=full]84157[/attach] [attach=full]84158[/attach] [attach=full]84159[/attach] After doing what I could with it, I met Donald (Honeybee) for lunch at the Coney Islander and discussed what we wanted to do for it. Thanks to Donald's knowledge of the different finishes, we decided that an accurate restoration would call for a color case hardened receiver, and everything else to be rust blued. So after lunch, I left everything but the stock with him for him to work his magic on while I refinished the stock. Anyhow, here is the end product, I thought Donald's finish turned out fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend him to anybody for their refinishing needs (yeah, like THAT makes any difference??? :) ). Reassembly of this gun was, well, a bit of a headache, but a little tinkering and I got it figured out.
