Thanks everyone for the kind words. There is a lot of satisfaction that comes from projects like this.

Falconflyer, I know you are absolutely right about seeing the flaws. They usually bug me for a few months, then I stop noticing too.

Spank, I did ask the girl if she wanted a tactical flashlight mount on the right barrel and maybe a hydro dip finish of skulls, but she passed...LOL. What I did do today, was cut a sizeable chunk off the stock to get it ready for pad installation. I just need to acquire a couple now of the right thickness for her and maybe me.

Longer term plan is to lengthen the forcing cones and take the chambers to 2 3/4”. Barrels need to be rust blued too. Once that is done, I have to decide if the gun is worth sending out to have the faint engraving redone and maybe a CCH.

That kind of job deserves all of those kind words Dilly.
 
I did a run of barrels in slow rust blue. Rem3200's AyA got thrown in the mix and took colour really well. I did my daughter's Ithaca too. they were too pitted and dinged to ever get perfect, but they also took colour well and look much nicer than before. Just dont look too closely.

I should have done the trigger guard and forend iron while I was at it. I will have to do a small batch run later this summer.
