Those were before pics. Here’s one I just took after applying the AF. I need a few coats of oil over it now.

Actually , I bought the rifle off of somebody who did that to it before I owned it. I have no idea how He didi it. It does look good though

The CVA Mt. Rifle I recently assembled was missing the percussion drum screw; a local old time Hdwe. Store, True Value, has those little pull out trays of nuts-n-bolts; they had stainless, short, 10-32 thread screws that fit it. AND , they were SLOTTED, not the modern Phillips. !!
Thanks to my dad that was born in a different era I have thousands of machine screws and wood screws both steel and brass(some brass with silver plating) that are from the 50's and 60's with slots in them. I have several life times of them. I do occasionally make things using them.The CVA Mt. Rifle I recently assembled was missing the percussion drum screw; a local old time Hdwe.

Will make a good gun. I had one 40 years ago, and now regret selling it.
I just got my hands on one, I like it a lot.
