what to do when a project is ready? breathing once than thinking about the next

the checkering was ready in novemeber and my gunmaker recommend a gentleman in suhl for rust blueing what was necessary because of soft soldering and welding. the man had a time table when he do rust blueing and the last date this year was from 21 to 23 december.
on 24 december the post was bringing a well known package. cost 60 euro including shipment back home, you can't do at home for this price.

other smal parts were fire blueed ( look for the real blue parts)or hot blueed by myself

the sins of the past - can#t remember how often I have talk to tig welder to stay away a german mile (this are 24000 german feet) from anything stainless

well, it did not happen witht he bolt handle! looks fine before blueing but now I see what happen there

no idea what to do about this

yes, its a light and handy rifle. the only new parts on the whole thing are the stock front cap and the stutzen sling ring, every other part was old and reuse.

this is my definition of being ecologically friendly and having a low carbon footprint!

and yes, all ranges are closed because of miss corona.
