$90 shipped, trying to fund an unmentionable build.

$105 to your door

This is an old Philadelphia Derringer that I've experimented on with different finishes for years. It's a Jukar or CVA kit gun I think. The stock was busted and pieced back together. It's complete, but the lock is disassembled. I just couldn't get the coil spring compressed enough. It was...

I don't know how I got confused, but it's marked Springfield Hawken not St. Louis.

Barrel is browned and the lock is case hardened, kinda hard to tell in photos. A cleaning patch ran down the barrel doesn't snag. Trying to fund another project, $255 shipped. and I'll throw in a box of PA conicals.

Oh sorry, I used UPS.

I shipped a rifle from NC to Oh on Monday and it got there yesterday. Insured and in a wooden crate for $39

Thanks guys, I had forgotten about using a brass bolt to crown one.

Both of those look great guys! I think I'm gonna try it on mine too.

Thank you, that's what I was thinking as well, but was unsure.

I need to do that to the lock panels on a double barrel CVA that I'm redoing, but I'm pretty leery to start carving on it. They were pretty undefined but stripping it down got them more. Did you just follow the factory contours? In response to Eric Krewson''s photo

I'm refinishing a CVA double barrel 12 gauge and I had to clean up the muzzles with a file.There were still a lot of machining marks on them. It left the crowns with very sharp edges. Does a thin shotgun barrel need a crown at the muzzle or should I just radius the edges over? Unrelated, but I...

I also had really good results lightly media blasting some knife blades,(instead of sanding) before browning. It gave a softer feeling texture to it.

I did one once before in a small bathroom. I carved a tapered rod and wedged it in the muzzle, then tied a cord to that. It was then hung from the shower rod and I would run the shower for a bit to steam it up the room . It worked really well with LMF Browning solution, my first time ever doing it.

Welcome, from another new guy from WNC.

As Ontario47 said, we've agreed to a trade. Moderator please mark post accordingly.

Thank you for the kind welcome! I spent a few years in the service as well. Seems like a great bunch of people on here, don't know why I haven't joined earlier.
