I may have it re-cased but don't want it pimped up too much. It's not bad for 120 plus years old. Plan was to Nickel the Swiss Butt Plate too. Had it blued so it would carry some finish while I made up my mind. Nickel may be too much sparkle. Boats

Chuck, If you ask 10 guys how to duplicate Winchester red stain you get 10 different answers. All probably right. I did all sorts of research and never could make my mind up what to use.

Ended up taking to Millard Hixson on the phone. He said he could do a good job, so I left it at that. Never asked him what he used. I have finished a bunch of stuff rifle stocks included and never had one turn out that good.

I am going to send one of my CPA's to Millard and this time will ask him about the finish, just so I will know.

Jim seems to have really gotten the color spot on. It can be built up to get the amount of red you like. http://www.tapaderaswinchesters.com/gunstockstain.html
