Well I have my Fowler mostly done, French red filler/stain worked well, several coats of truoil afterwards, I was going to age it with bone black from kibler’s but my supplies from the Fowler orders haven’t showed yet, no biggie I’ll use them on the other Fowler that is on order with them. I left the lock and barrel bright, fire blued the screws and trigger, which are more black than blue do to a couple factors. The buttplate screws wouldn’t fire blue, might be stainless? I got them darker any how and the plate will be aged so that’s fine. I blew out a pin hole do to finish clogging it and trying to force a pin through. I’ll dye some thickened epoxy and fix it, it won’t be noticeable and is very minor. I adjusted the trigger so it has the slightest amount of play. Anyways here’s some pictures…..
