Well, looks like I am now into black powder guns. This was a gift from a friend that came with a box of parts he bought. Add about $58 worth of spare parts, and a first attempt at rust bluing, and we go from here:

It's not perfect, granted, but it does have that vintage Old West look that I wanted, and now to try actually shooting it...

Cool what products did you use in the Rust bluing can you outline the steps in the process???

I'd be glad to. Do you want it done here, or as a seperate Rust Bluing tutorial-type post?
