I would think that guns on the frontier were always in need of service, repairs and as people made more income may pay to have embellishments or upgrades added, so they were never really ever “finished”. In that same spirit I just can’t stop making changes to my kit guns, I’ll complete a task, leave it for months, shoot it, play with it, then make changes. Some are subtle, some are major. Either way I love working on these and for me they are never really ever finished……
Decided to blue the hardware, then rub it back to add some patina. I think I like this alot better than the new bright chrome look.
