Thanks yes pretty happy. The bluing came out quite good, not a museum quality restoration but pretty decent. Id like to do the wood a bit better. Learned a lot. The metal finish needs to be flawless or it shows through. My next one will be easier to do. If you have pitting it is a LOT elbow grease to get it all out. I had a bit of a blotchy finish after first shot at blueing so took synthetic steel wool to the receiver and barrel just enough to get a grey color then decreased and right back into the bluing tank. Came out near perfect after that
