My Stevens is finished!

As some of you might remember, I had a disasterous problem in my gun locker some months ago. One of the rifles that suffered the worst damage was my Savage replica of a Stevens Favorite. It took the worst of the corrosive liquid down it's barrel and receiver. It looked really terrible.

So over the past weeks I have been refinishing it. I took it apart to the last pin, stripped the rust and original blue finish, sanded and steel wooled all the damaged metal and then re-blued everything. I've been at it for a couple weeks now. Last night I finished the reassembly.

It looks terrific. I am very pleased with the results. Tonight I'll get some pictures and post them for your viewing pleasure.
