OK answers to the questions above
How does it shoot?...I don't know yet, I live near Seattle and am a boat owner, so every sunny weekend we were out in the boat, plus my parents moved this summer....so I had very little time. I am hoping to get a dry weekend this fall
Do you live around salt water? ........yes, about 5 miles from Puget Sound, but I think this gun was the victim of a Bubba, not salt water
What bluing method did you go with?...........I use the hot salts method (sometimes called hot bluing or caustic salts). I never get pictures of the bluing process because I am wearing PPE, working along and am bluing 3-4 guns at a time
