Rob,

Being that 100 year old metal is so hard have you ever made any knives from it? I was wondering if it would make a superior blade compared to modern steel.
 
Make front blade and solder it on the barrel , get er centered ... Got er ... Let er cool then touch er up with file ...

One of the first things I do is ....with barrel in and tang screw to torque ... File then sand area around tang to finish ....afterwards take barrel back out and file and sand rest of stock to final ... Stay away from tang area , natch .
