1- full strip down and total degrease

2- deburred the entire thing (using needle files)

3- piston/cylinder polishing

4- buttoned the Piston with delrin Bands

5- converted the piston seal from leather to ptfe and a full re-grease (bisley moly)

6- removed all of the rust, pitting and bluing

7- reblued the metal work (hot)

8- straightened the barrel

9- repaired the stock (this took ages)

10- re-stained the stock (dark oak)

11- had it French polished
