Webley Falcon Refurb And Slow Rust Blue

[valboskie 39]

it has been an epic battle last a lot longer than i had hoped but the pictures are finally done on my
Webley Falcon project.
the rifle was found in an attic it had been there for nearly 30 years and was in a bit of a state

[valboskie 39]

first thing to do was strip off the old bluing and check out how bad the pitting was.
it was worse than i had hoped
after many hours i had got to this stage

it was now time to start the stock
after stripping off the old varnish the stain had soaked deeply into the end grain and was a battle to get most of it out
i tried bleach and oxalic acid and it still would not totally shift
