Quote: The romance of resurrecting an old war horse was too much to resist Johan. If it could talk think of that, Greek military, certainly saw action in WWII,then back to the USA !!! best, Mike
Mike, That old warhose was propably used in the Greek Civil war which followed WW2 as well.
I recently got back my small ring M98 which was my first rust blued rifle and I really like it compared to hot bluing. Its hard to describe but its almost like it looks more like part of the surface of the metal rather than a coating on top of the metal. Also in your case, I think the colour of the rust blue will compliment the case coloured parts better and will tie it all together nicely.
Finally, I like the fact that you kept and highlighted the original reciever markings. Can I ask how the gold colour was applied?
