Damn.
This picture- with my crappy digital camera- doesn’t do this gun justice. The blue is almost black, and it was easy as can be. Good lord, why didn’t I do this sooner? Now all I need is a rear sight.
Good friend of mine told me I was gonna end up looking like “a nawleans pimp” with the ivory grips.
Hm. Maybe a new side job.

Nice job!
Nice!
Nice, nice.
Verrrry nice, og.
Now that you’re a pro, I’ve got this old Winchester that could use some bluing…
;)
Jay, so do I!!! I have FIVE long guns I need to blue. Soon as I can get them ready I will.
Og, Gen. George S. Patton Jr. once said, A real man has pistol grips of Ivory. Only a pimp from a cheap new orleans whore house carries a pistol with pearl handles. And wow . . . blinded by the (blue) light.
Every fighter from Wild Bill Hickock to George Patton has used ivory grips. Just avoid the mother of pearl, and the fake mop “frozen snot” that comes in various day-glo colors.
I’m a curly maple man myself….
