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.

At this moment, ten feet from here, I am attempting to do my first hot bluing in the span of 24 years.

I did my 45 years ago, under the tutelage of a local gunsmith. he’s long dead, and I have been using instructions found at Blindhogg to attempt to roll my own, so to speak. Wish me luck. Pictures later, if I don’t blow up.
