Everything on this Mauser has gone pretty well for a rookie
Cut barrel & re-crown. Didnt really need to do this. I have never done it before .So it was a must try
Clean up tooling marks on barrel & receiver left by the Nazi's.
Sand & put 6 coats of Formbys Tung oil on Boyd's after market stock,,,check.
Wood turned out awesome.Formbys Tung oil is the shit.
did some other minor shit to the bolt handle,so it would clear a scope.
Tonight was time to blue the metal. FAIL FAIL FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cold bluing sucks. Never again.
EDIT/ To my surprise this morning,the blue-ing looks a 100 x better. not sure what happened? maybe the lighting in the shop,maybe it takes 8 hours or so to get the full affect. Either way I am more than satisfied with the cold blue-ing.
