Stevens 235

[Sonny.Frechette]

Hello all

I have recently inherited my great grandfathers Stevens sxs shotgun and would like to restore it to a better than current condition.

Ideally I wanted to rust blue the barrels but I have gotten mixed reviews on whether the barrel solder can take temperatures that high. Being it would only get to 100 C (212F) when boiling would this really be an issue?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Boiling water would not pose a problem at all.

Rust bluing is where it's at for soft soldered barrels.
Looks amazing, and rugged, too!
