Trying this finish for Grandpa's shotgun. So far, I am unimpressed with the results, but I have yet to card off the excess finish and polish the last coat. If this last coat does not turn out like I would like, I'm going to take down the metal once again and either Duracoat or Cerakote the barrel and receiver. Hopefully all will turn out well, and I will be posting a finished picture within the next three days! #Rust #Brown #BirchwoodCasey #AspiringGunsmith #Gunsmithing #GranddaddysGun #SDI #MetalFinish #NewVictor #BareMetal #QuickMethodsNeverWork #GunsmithingSchool #Progress #FunDayGunDay #LearningProcess

Last day of vacation has been spent been spent working on improving, or rather fixing, a Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70. I have to say that I am rather disappointed in Marlin for letting this firearm ever leave the factory. However, it has been great practice for my future business. #TheyDontMakeThemLikeTheyUsedTo #Gunsmith #AspiringGunsmith #GunsmithingSchool #SDI #SonoranDesertInstitute #Marlin #MarlinGuideGun #4570 #Thumper #405GrainsIsNoJoke #Improving
