With all the recent talk about the India made guns, it got me to thinking of my Heritage trade gun.
To be honest, the way it came after I unboxed it, I was disappointed.
The finish and lock were very rough.
After some cleaning, smoothing of lock parts, I decided to strip the gunk finish off and add some tru oil.
The final finish came out better than I expected, fires great every time. I’m happy with it.
