Final pix of a 75 transitional rework
« on: October 28, 2017, 12:13:56 PM »
Here are some final photos , not perfect but I am pleased none the less .
Slow rust blue , loaded with CGW parts : fire control , new bushing , new barrel , Armory Craft curved trigger,  reworked trigger guard and beaver tail . Shoots very well.

















Thanks for looking ,

Nice work on the trigger guard. I'm doing the same to my transitional. About half way there, but other projects keep interrupting.

Really nice, something to be proud of for sure.  What did you use for your rust solution?  About to start one and if it turns out half as nice as yours I will be happy.

I've worked on guns a lot in my life, as I tell people that start out on a project for the first time.....PERFECT never really happens, especially the first several times and even after that truth be told....close to perfect is possible, what matters most is that you took on a challenge and saw it through.  I used to look at imperfections, meaning not exactly what I thought it would turn out to be, as a failure of sorts.....then there are those instances where the "mistakes" turned out to be "pure genius" on my part  ;D ......this project happens to be pretty UNIQUE.....I'd take that over perfect any day!!!

Thank you Gentlemen for all the kind words .

I too have been working on guns to some extent most all of my adult life (what ever and when ever that started ) , and nothing is static , one is always learning , the key is to apply the learned lessons and remember how to deal with situations that come up .

Rust bluing is new to me , but I'm learning .

Rust bluing looks awesome! I imagine the prep before bluing was hard work to achieve such a nice overall finish. Job well done sir.
