Neil the difference is amazing. It's like comparing a B/W photo and a color photo. Great job.

1. thanks, I used Kutzit Paint stripper after I baked and purplepowered it. Then steelwooled course, med, fine, and tung oil. This was a bugger to clean but I wanted to see what these things really looked like and this was a UFIXEM. It is now my favoriite next to the M38 of the same stock color.

2. 91TS is my next project and I plan on doing the same to it. It is a 1898 receiver Brescia with a 1921 stamp on the furniture.:D
